OSE, a humanitarian aid organization deeply rooted in its commitment to excellence has been a leader in its socio-medical endeavours throughout the century, helping underprivileged Jewish populations as well as children and families of all origins.

Today, the goals of the OSE remain focussed on helping children and their families adapt to their particular circumstances, and on assisting them both emotionally and physically with any difficulties related to their health and psychological well being. Protecting the child and his/her future is of primary importance.

The OSE mission is to serve as a public service organization on a national level. Under the associative law of 1901and recognized as ‘utilité publique’ in 1951, the OSE is comprised of more than three hundred highly qualified professionals spread out in a variety of departments; social workers, educators, physicians, psychologists, paramedical personnel, administrative and technical staff work together within interdisciplinary groups in the various divisions of the OSE.

The Board of Directors, executives, members and patrons of the OSE work in close contact with its numerous professionals, ensuring the highest quality output.

All divisions and departments within the OSE are recognized and approved by the Ministry of Solidarity, the Justice Ministry and the Ministry of Youth and Sports. The OSE works in close collaboration with its partners from a variety of institutions (Inspectors of Child Social Aid, Judges, Doctors, Social Workers, Administrative Officers) in an environment of trust and mutual respect.
