Noah Initiative

Noah Initiative is a non-profit organization based in Israel. Comprised of students and young adults, the organization is focused on addressing the economic challenges faced by young adults in Israel while simultaneously revitalizing peripheral cities. Founded in 2012, Noah Initiative has gained recognition from government officials, policymakers, professionals, and academics for its innovative approach. The organization's primary endeavor is the development of a new urban quarter in Ofakim, a city in southern Israel. This project aims to provide affordable housing options for young adults, built and designed by young adults, a first for Israel. Noah Initiative collaborates with student unions from Tel Aviv University and Ben Gurion University in Be'er Sheva, as well as a broad network of supporters. The initiative has received extensive media coverage in Israel, with many praising its potential to create a meaningful impact on Israeli society. Noah Initiative believes its work represents a significant turning point in addressing the pressing issue of housing affordability for young adults in Israel and aims to empower its members as agents of historical change.
