Ethiopian Olim Department 1999 – 2015

Afula consists of an Ethiopian community numbering over 4,000 people who live in four of the city's neighborhoods. The origins of the Afula Ethiopian community go back to several waves of immigration to Israel.

The department has for 15 years worked to improve and enhance the efficiency of the absorption process for Afula's Ethiopian immigrants. The department's dynamic structure responds in real time to the unique and changing needs of this population. Employees of the department regular seek effective ways of conceiving and concentrating the department's actions for accelerating the process of absorption into society and the local community.

The Ethiopian Olim department engages in a broad variety of absorption related activities and services such as:

Social and cultural integration.

Finding employment for the unemployed / vocational training.

Education – formal and informal

Working with youths.

Housing problems – Ministry of Housing, Ministry of Immigrant Absorption, Amidar Corporation.

Handling requests of Afula residents in the Hebrew, Amharic and Tigrinya languages.

The department regularly operates and initiates projects in association with other municipal departments and external bodies that deal in the absorption of Ethiopian immigrants.

The department works in close cooperation with different government ministries and Community Centers to respond to needs and accommodate residents of the city and its neighborhoods.
