Ofanim is an Israeli non-profit that works tirelessly to even the playing field when it comes to education. Founded in late 2003, Ofanim converts old buses into mobile science labs. The goal of Ofanim is empower kids to study in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) fields and motivating them to continue STEM studies in higher education. Children living in the Northern and Southern regions of Israel do not have easy access to many of the technologies needed to study these areas. Ofanim is working to change that. By reaching over 2,000 children a week, Ofanim travels all throughout the country providing resources and educational experiences to these children through engaging and hands-on activities. The students Ofanim reaches are from all different nationalities, religious, and countries. As the students are nearing the end of their high school career, 23.5% of Ofanim students are preparing to take their final examinations in the highest possible level, compared to the national average of 8.2%, and the southern average of 6.9%. 58% of graduates from the Ofanim program persure higher education and careers in the STEM fields. Friends of Ofanim is a linked organization spreading awareness of the work Ofanim is doing to potential donors in the US.
