• Meeting unmet needs: ENP carries out an extensive mapping of existing programs and
services to ensure that ENP programs are filling an unmet, critical need.
ENP Programs
ENP’s flagship initiative is the SPACE (School Performance and Community Empowerment)
Scholastic Assistance (5,015 students in 28 cities): A holistic program providing supplementary,
after-school hours of educational, emotional, social and nutritional support to improve students’
achievements in core subjects, increase motivation to learn, strengthen pride in Ethiopian Jewish
heritage and improve their self-confidence.
ENP’s initiatives are complemented by a range of further programs:
• ENP SPACE Leadership Development: Training Ethiopian-Israeli activists at local and
national levels to lead and transform the Ethiopian-Israeli population into a strong and self-
sufficient community.
• Medical and Dental University Scholarships: ENP is continuing to provide Ethiopian-Israeli
medical and dental students with scholarships to ease their financial burden during their
intensive studies.
In 2018, ENP launched a number of new SPACE-related initiatives that further enrich the
participants’ experience:
• ENP Bridges: Spoken English enrichment for 9 graders, designed to boost performance and
th
increase tracking levels for participants. Includes English summer camp experiences for
outstanding achievers.
• ENP SPACE Youth Empowerment and Civic Engagement Program: In partnership with the US
Embassy and State Department’s Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI), intensive leadership
training for youth.
• ENP Ti’ud- Imparting the Story of the Ethiopian Aliyah to Future Generations: The Ti’ud
afterschool pilot program seeks to engage, educate and motivate 240 high school students to
develop a much stronger appreciation for the history and traditions of Ethiopian Jewry. For the
80% of the participants who are Ethiopian, it will further serve to bridge the gap between
grandparents, their children and grandchildren as they work together on developing various
projects that tell their family’s story.
