"Efrat is thankful to announce that 1,806 Jewish children's lives were saved in 2005. It’s incredible to see these glowing mothers with their children and to know that we helped create that happiness," said Efrat coordinator Tzvi Binn. "However we still have a long way to go, as many of the close to 50,000 abortions in Israel every year are done out of economic concerns."
The Efrat organization reaches out to pregnant women in distress by offering monthly food and baby supplies for a year, free baby equipment and an Efrat volunteer to provide support and friendship during the pregnancy and after.
The organization says that the package of social and financial support that it provides gives the confidence the women and their families need to choose to continue their pregnancies and have their babies.
Efrat says it has "saved the lives of more than 18,000 Jewish children by helping more than 18,000 expecting mothers over the past 29 years."
