This Green Sunday we’re investing in sports facilities in Israel’s neglected peripheries – so that every community can provide a happy, healthy childhood for future generations.

Taking part in sports activities is associated with a variety of positive effects, such as self-confidence, well developed social skills and physical wellbeing, alongside providing an opportunity to simply relax and have fun.
