Today, JNF is invested primarily in the Negev and Galilee - the south and the north of Israel - encouraging Israelis and Olim to live in those regions. JNF is a leader in the areas of community building, creation of employment opportunities, special needs and disabilities, education and youth movements. In addition, JNF is at the international forefront in developing state of the art water solutions and technology.
