In 2020 Aviv opened a Shelter for women and their children in crisis (e.g. domestic violence, prostitution, human trafficking and extreme financial difficulties). The Shelter’s goal is to supply the women’s basic needs, while at the same time helping them get spiritual, psychological and legal support. The goal is for them to overcome the crisis and find the way out of it into a healthy and independent social and spiritual life and safe and stable situation for them and their children.
