Building Resilience, One Project at a Time – Backed by Data
At New Land, we believe that true impact comes from actionable insights. Every project we undertake is guided by a commitment to measurable outcomes, achieved through rigorous data collection, analysis, and community engagement.
By continuously gathering data from the ground and applying advanced research methodologies, we ensure that our initiatives not only address immediate challenges but also contribute to long-term resilience. Our projects span multiple dimensions of recovery and growth, enabling us to provide real, quantifiable benefits to the Western Negev and its people.
Here’s how we’re making a difference
1
Holistic Resilience Index Project
Guiding Communities from Heartbreak to Healing
Turning insights into actions, helping families rebuild their resilience and future.
This initiative supports the recovery of evacuated communities following October 7 through in-depth data analysis. Collaborating with Indicate and Tel Aviv University’s ResWell, New Land collects and analyzes data on community resilience.
The insights, shared in regular reports, guide stakeholders in making informed decisions for the affected communities. In parallel we developed with Tel Aviv university and with leading professionals a resilience index. The index ensures that investments lead to quantifiable improvements in resilience, optimizing resources for a faster recovery And measure impact. The first report has been published, with the second (one year from October 7th ) just published recently.

Volunteer-Driven Social Pubs Network
Strengthening Communities, One Connection at a Time
Building a resilient, thriving future through shared experiences and meaningful partnerships.
This network of community-run social pubs is enhancing local resilience by bringing together municipalities, philanthropic organizations, and dedicated volunteers. By working side-by-side to build these pubs, volunteers find purpose and meaning—especially vital for those facing trauma. These pubs become cultural and social hubs, offering a space for creativity, solidarity, and healing.
We are also forging a partnership with Tarbut (https://tarbutmovement.org/en/), further establishing these pubs as cultural spaces for the Western Negev communities. Through a mix of local support, external sponsorship, and volunteer-driven efforts, we aim to foster a sense of togetherness, helping these communities thrive in the face of adversity.
