In The Spotlight >> New facilities completed

With the recent completion of some major capital projects, the newly constructed or renovated facilities are starting to fulfill their purpose – facilitating the provision of high-quality services for the end users.

The projects were carried out by the Capital projects Unit of the Rashi Foundation, with the support of many partners including government agencies, local authorities, Jewish federations, philanthropic foundations, donors and the nonprofit organizations operating the services.

The Capital Projects Unit has accumulated experience in managing over 200 projects of different types and sizes since 2001, taking them from initial planning to completion and handover, including financial, legal and programmatic aspects. In each project – from simple renovations to lengthy and complex construction, there is an emphasis on first-rate design and execution that will promote a higher quality of service and contribute to a sense of pride among local residents.
