From pregnancy to birth and beyond, EFRAT provides financial and emotional support to women in crisis, so they can bring their babies into the world with dignity, joy, and peace of mind.
She wants to have her baby.
She just doesn't see how she can.
She doesn't even know help is out there.
We're here to give her hope.
When a woman dials our number, it’s because poverty has cornered her into believing that abortion is her only option.
We give her a safety net and a listening ear. We ease her concerns and support her dreams. We help her make the choice she wants to make, instead of the choice she feels forced to make.

HOW WE HELP
Supporting women—before and after birth.
We do not only assist her through the immediate crisis. We offer ongoing support post-birth and resources for a sustainable path forward. EFRAT helps her break the cycle of poverty and reclaim a future of physical, emotional and financial security.
Counseling
Under the direction of a licensed social worker, our volunteers provide counseling and emotional support, giving women much-needed comfort and helping them feel less alone.
Baby supplies and equipment
Every EFRAT mother receives a complete package of baby essentials at birth, plus a box of baby products and food every month for the first 2 years.
Medical consultation
Women who have received a doctor’s recommendation for an abortion can get a free second opinion, if desired, from our team of experienced medical professionals.
Advocacy
Navigating bureaucracy can be overwhelming, especially for new mothers. We offer advice, guidance, and advocacy to help women get the government benefits they're eligible for.
Vocational counseling
EFRAT helps women achieve financial independence through vocational testing and support, free educational opportunities, and childcare vouchers.
Safe housing
We'll soon provide rent-free lodgings during pregnancy and for 6 months after birth, giving women who are homeless due to an unexpected pregnancy a safe roof over their heads.
“If she chooses to continue the pregnancy, she knows she won't be doing it alone.”
Our volunteers know how to listen to each woman and give her space to quietly make her own decision without pressure. The women who turn to us are looking for a way not to have an abortion. They feel in their hearts that it's not the right choice for them . . . The decision is always her decision. But if she chooses to continue the pregnancy, she knows she won't be doing it alone—that we'll be right there with her.
For $125 per month for one year, you can help one woman bring her precious child into the world
With 150+ trained volunteers, EFRAT's overhead costs remain low, so more funds go directly to helping women who need it.
