Founded:

About Us
Areas of Focus: 
Legal Services / Justice System
Mission: 

Reprieve US is a registered 501(c)(3) assisting victims of extreme human rights abuses carried out by governments. We are made up of lawyers and investigators helping people facing detention without trial, execution and extrajudicial killing. We are a small team but we are fearless in our fight for justice.

We work closely with our sister organization, Reprieve, a UK charity founded in 1999 by British-American lawyer Clive Stafford Smith. Reprieve uses strategic interventions to end the use of the death penalty globally, and secret prisons and state-sanctioned assassinations in the context of the so-called “war on terror”.

We work for the most disenfranchised people in society, as it is in their cases that human rights are most swiftly jettisoned and the rule of law is cast aside. Thus, we promote and protect the rights of those facing the death penalty and those who are the victims of extreme human rights abuses committed in the context of the so-called “war on terror” (WOT), with a focus on secret prisons and state-sanctioned assassinations.

Underpinning Reprieve’s strategic focus is the notion that countries such as the US and the UK hold themselves out as shining examples of democratic societies that respect the rule of law and human rights, and therefore should be held to exacting standards in terms of how they respond to acts or allegations of terrorism and murder. Their responses have ripple effects worldwide, and are frequently used to justify the continuation of the death penalty, extrajudicial killing, torture, rendition and unlawful detention by countries ranging from “aspiring exemplars” to “worst offenders”.

Reprieve works with partners in jurisdictions all over the world, including Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), government officials, individual lawyers and human rights defenders, as well as individual, corporate and foundation funders.

Programs: 

Guantánamo Bay

Reprieve U.S. represents seven prisoners in Guantánamo Bay and has freed over 80 men from wrongful detention at the facility, including juveniles like Mohammed el Gharani.  We also run a unique prisoner resettlement program, Life After Guantánamo, which helps ex-prisoners from Guantánamo to reunite with their families, access medical care, and rebuild their lives peacefully and securely.

Abuses in Counter-Terrorism

Reprieve U.S. investigates extra-judicial killing and detention around the world and reunites ‘disappeared’ prisoners with their legal rights. Our Drones Project pursues greater transparency, due process and regulation in the use of drones to kill outside of war zones. Among our clients are the al-Saadi family, anti-Gaddafi dissidents who were rendered back to Gaddafi in a joint CIA-MI6 operation when the eldest child was just 12 years old, and Faisal Bin Ali Jaber, an engineer from Yemen who is seeking justice for his brother-in-law and nephew who were killed in a U.S. drone strike.

Death Penalty

Reprieve U.S. is assisting over a number of prisoners facing the death penalty in the USA and around the world. We prioritize cases where an international influence can make all the difference. In the U.S., Reprieve’s Stop Lethal Injection Project works with pharmaceutical corporations to ensure that medicines created to cure are not used to kill. We have helped to save over 500 people from wrongful execution.

  • Nutrition Screening – Identifying children at-risk and prescribing individualized interventions for children with complex needs
  • Diet – Evaluating and optimizing diet and supplementation, including food preparation in institutional settings

We are united across disciplines by a fierce commitment to mission, and to the vision of a world where all children are nourished so they can grow and thrive.

While driven from the heart, SPOON’s work is led by science, with a strong evidence-based and track record of results.

Diseases / Disorders
Mission: 

Keren Or Jerusalem Center for Blind Children with Multiple Disabilities is 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to the education and care of children in Israel who are visually impaired and also cognitively, developmentally, and/or physically disabled. Our mission is to provide our students with comprehensive care, stimulating educational exercises, and rehabilitative therapies designed to help them reach their full potential and lead lives that are meaningful and productive.

Keren Or is the only therapy center of its kind in the world, under Jewish auspices, devoted exclusively to the visually impaired population. The Keren Or approach works with a lot of love, patience, and professionalism on the part of our dedicated team, persistent students, and supportive families. We focus optimistically on what each student might be able to achieve, if given the opportunity and the support. Students of our nonresidential center utilize different therapy and educational services during the day and are able to go home and spend time with their families at night. Our facilities, dedicated staff, and individualized therapy programs allow each of our students to reach his or her maximum potential. To meet the individual needs of our students, who range in the severity of their disabilities, our staff of therapists and caregivers work together to create a comprehensive customized care plan for each child. Each day, we witness little miracles when a child learns to walk, or when a child discovers how to communicate, or when a child finds joy in music and play.

At Keren Or, we want all children to have the ability to simply be a child and as such, we provide top quality care and support for these children regardless of a family’s ability to pay. Keren Or’s New York office supports the Center in Jerusalem by communicating with and engaging donors, as well as providing opportunities for the community to get involved. With the help of our generous donors and funds from state and local municipalities, we aim to limit the financial burden on families so their children are able to benefit from the services provided by Keren Or.

We are fortunate to have a very involved board at Keren Or who both advocate for, and provide oversight of our work. The Women’s Division is an active part of outreach and fundraising efforts efforts for Keren Or, These dedicated women host a variety of social and cultural activities to connect potential and current supporters with our mission. B’nei Mitzvah-aged children, high school students, college students, young professionals, and adults of all ages can become involved with and support the Keren Or mission in New York City as well as on the ground in Israel.

Programs: 

At Keren Or, goals and individual treatment plans are developed for each child by a collaborative team of professionals that includes the school principal, psychologist, social worker, health professionals, classroom teachers, and students’ families. Keren Or’s skilled multidisciplinary staff, high staff-to-student ratio and excellent staff retention rate are key to successful outcomes. Educational and therapeutic programming are individually tailored and take into account the effect of blindness on other disabilities in order to address how each  impact the student’s disabilities. Goals include improving motor skills and developing speech, or alternative forms of communication, in a respectful, enabling environment. Treatment plans are continually reevaluated by staff to ensure that the most effective therapeutic program is developed for each child.

Cooperation with family is fundamental to our work. Parents are full partners in structuring educational and therapeutic programs for their children and help ensure that treatment positively impacts home life. Keren Or also offers family-inclusive support services and workshops to complement their children’s program.

Over the years, Keren Or has developed a variety of teaching methods and rehabilitative techniques geared to assist a wide range of students. Our holistic approach to care involves a broad range of special education techniques and innovative assistive equipment. Keren Or’s multiple therapeutic programs include: hydrotherapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, music therapy, computer therapy, pet therapy, therapeutic gardening, and feeding programs.

Cooperation with family is fundamental to our work. Parents are full partners in structuring educational and therapeutic programs for their children and help ensure that treatment positively impacts home life. Keren Or also offers family-inclusive support services and workshops to complement their children’s program.

In addition, Keren Or benefits from an excellent relationship with the local community. Shabbat services held at the Center’s synagogue are coordinated by neighborhood residents.
