==Funding==

*[[The Maurice Hatter Foundation]]

:A major renovation project will transform the Kfar Silver Youth Village in Israel after World ORT secured a substantial investment from one of British Jewry’s leading philanthropic foundations.

:[[The Gerald and Gail Ronson Family Foundation]] has made an anchor donation to the $11 million four-year project—the largest ever at an ORT school. In recognition, while continuing to be called the Kfar Silver Youth Village, the grounds will be named the [[Gerald and Gail Ronson Family Foundation Campus]].

:Near Ashkelon and the border with Gaza in southern Israel, Kfar Silver was bought by World ORT in 2016. It includes a high school, junior high school, boarding school and agricultural farm.

:The village is home to about 740 students with one-third living as on-site as boarders. Many of them come from families struggling financially. With a large number of orphans and immigrant children, there are also significant emotional and academic support needs within the village.

:[[Dan Green]], [[World ORT]] director general and CEO, said: “Kfar Silver is a jewel in the crown of the ORT network. The village has a fascinating history and has the potential to change the lives of its young residents. Signing this multimillion-dollar, four-year renovation plan is the first step in making those changes a reality.”<ref>
