From our visit to the Knesset for the discussion regarding the situation of the lone soldiers
About Us
Vision of Mesheli
Mesheli would constitute a responsible body for the purpose of connecting, guiding and escorting the discharged soldiers while dealing with the relevant bodies to realize their rights. Mesheli would also address and assist in daily issues, for a duration of three years after their military discharge.
Current Status
There are several bodies who assist lone soldiers, also after their discharge. However each body offers different support and services. This creates confusion with the soldiers who do not know where to turn to, for each problem.
Many of the soldiers move into an empty apartment and struggle to furnish it. Those who manage to find 2nd hand furniture, are faced with the costly transport of the furniture to the apartment. Many of the soldiers find themselves in a bureaucratic reality, without any sense of belonging, warmth and love.
Demographic breakdown
Every year about 3,000 lone soldiers are discharged
Means of Activity
Mesheli connects and coordinates between the soldiers and the relative bodies.
Mesheli has a nationwide logistics system, which enables the discharged soldier to equip his place of residence in the best possible way.
Our system includes:
Storage spaces across Israel
Cooperation with relevant businesses and foundations
Recruitment of transporters nationwide
Recruitment of volunteers to assist soldiers as needed
Fundraising efforts
