Sapir Academic College is located about 2 miles (3.5 kilometers) from the Gaza border. To date, 1,000 students, both men and women, were drafted to active reserve duty (miluim). Sapir is launching a Reserve Soldiers (Miluim) Fund, to create a safety net for these special soldiers, who left everything behind to keep us safe.  After the battle, this Fund will offer the reservist: the peace of mind needed to get their lives back on track and concentrate on their studies, so that they can build their futures and help rejuvenate the Western Negev- Otef Yisrael and the whole country.

Sapir Academic College is the only Israeli academic institution in Otef Yisrael (Gaza envelope). Considering its unique location and the security threats it faces, Sapir Academic College is nothing short of a miracle. The College’s students come from all over the country, to make their homes in Sderot and the surrounding Gaza border communities.

On October 7, the Sapir community suffered unbearable horror. Students, graduates, administrative and academic staff and their families were murdered in the Hamas terrorist attack. 

Out of this terrible trauma, we seek to strengthen our student reserve soldiers. Help us guard the guardians! 

With your support, Sapir seeks to give these 1,000 reservist students, who are serving in the Iron Swords war, a grant that will offer them economic resiliency, on return to their civilian life.

Thanks to the Sapir community members who serve in the reserves together with your generous help, Sapir Academic College will continue to be a growth engine for the revitalization and rejuvenation of Otef Israel (Gaza envelope) in a wide range of fields: economics, social action, mental health, academics, etc.
