The Hostage Healing Programme is a partnership between JNFSA and The Base that was created in response to the October 7 attacks and the subsequent hostage crisis. The programme brings former Hamas hostages, released captives, survivors, and their immediate families to South Africa for a period of respite, recovery, and emotional healing.
The programme aims to:
Provide a safe and supportive environment away from the trauma of war and captivity.
Allow survivors and families time to rest and recover.
Offer opportunities for meaningful connection with the South African Jewish community.
Create spaces where survivors can share their experiences if they choose.
Foster resilience, healing, and hope through community support and time spent in South Africa's natural surroundings.
