Who you will help 

Because many girls lived on the streets, escaping violent home environments, organized sports are foreign to them. Currently, Beit Ruth has been operating several different onsite and offsite sports activities that benefit the girls' physical and emotional well-being. These programs are in areas with limited space and shade. The lack of a professional space restricts Beit Ruth's ability to accommodate different types of physical fitness equipment. Beit Ruth seeks support to design and construct an outdoor gym that allows them to professionally execute their Sports Therapy Program. Sports is one among several diverse and research-based Enrichment Programs that help girls who have survived childhood abuse and neglect rebuild trust and learn critical life skills, including teamwork, resilience, and self-confidence.

Your donation will fund

With the generosity of a donor, Beit Ruth envisions a portable, pagoda-shaded outdoor gym with synthetic grass for safety. The range of physical equipment would include: Nest Swing, Double leg Press, Sit-Up Bench, Butterfly Fitness Bench, Stationary Bicycle, Elliptical Machine, Chest Press and Trampoline.
