Good People Fund grantee Kaima Nahalal, founded by Merav Carmi, is marking a season of profound abundance and meaningful transition. Just in time for Shavuot, the farm yielded a beautiful harvest: butternut squash, beetroot, celery, cherry tomatoes, and zucchini. This allowed Kaima to fulfill weekly orders for 100 households, support 15 vulnerable families through their Feed My Neighbor initiative, and partner with another NGO to deliver fresh produce to an additional 100 families. Alongside this harvest, Merav announced that after a decade of leading the farm she founded in the wake of the #MeToo movement as a safe environment for sexually abused girls and women, she is passing the torch to incoming CEO Moran Niv Shalman, a seasoned leader with more than ten years of experience working with at-risk youth. “This land has taught me so much about abundance and healing,” Merav writes. “It truly has all the right ingredients for transformation.” We are moved by everything Merav has built, and we look forward to watching Kaima Nahalal flourish in this next chapter.
