Current Projects

Each year, British ORT chooses one project on which to focus its fundraising efforts. This year, our key project is to support ORT's network of 18 schools in the Former Soviet Union, where years of oppression under Communism have left the Jewish community scattered and vulnerable. We are also continuing to support a number of other ORT projects, in Israel, the U.K., Russia and across the world.
