Tevel b’Tzedek (Tevel) –the name is taken from the Book of Psalms, and means the World with Justice — is a non-profit organization dedicated to addressing the challenge of healing global poverty at its source.
Based in Jerusalem, Israel, Tevel is inspired by the Biblical and Prophetic vision of a just world, where poverty has been eliminated, and all human beings have access to the basic resources they need to survive and thrive. Tevel also draws from the community and youth-centered values which helped to catalyze modern Israel’s survival and rapid growth.
Tevel is built on a simple but powerful premise: when youth are placed at the center of community transformation and backed by a comprehensive approach, entire systems shift. Grounded in Jewish social justice, global responsibility, and human dignity, Tevel applies these principles in building Africa’s next generation of rural leaders in Zambia.
Our youth-led model equips young people with leadership skills, innovative farming practices, and entrepreneurial tools, while expanding rural communities’ access to irrigated land, agricultural extension, finance, and markets, thereby strengthening incomes and resilience and positioning young people as change agents within their own villages.
The result is more income, stronger households, more cohesive communities, and a new generation of rural leaders capable of reshaping local economies.
With youth at the center, agriculture as the platform, and community resilience as the outcome, Tevel is pioneering a holistic model of rural transformation.
