Our artisan goods are handcrafted through the mentorship of our village. Each piece represents a tactile legacy of resilience. All purchases are final and support the sanctuary directly. We facilitate all contributions through a donation portal that ensures 100% of your support reaches the sanctuary.
We reserve the right to manage access to our private portals to maintain the operational security and privacy of our residents. Access to restricted areas is granted at the discretion of Rifka's House leadership.

The safety and dignity of every child in our care is our highest priority. All staff, volunteers, and visitors are subject to background checks, training, and ongoing oversight. We do not publish photographs of the children, families, or seniors in our care to protect their privacy. Any concerns about child safety can be reported confidentially to safeguarding@rifkashouse.org.
Donor information is held in the strictest confidence. We never sell, trade, or rent donor lists. Donation amounts and personal details are visible only to the staff who need access for receipts, accounting, and donor stewardship. You can request your data be removed from our records at any time by emailing contact@rifkashouse.org.
Everyone associated with Rifka's House (staff, volunteers, board members, donors, and visitors) is expected to treat every resident with dignity, patience, and respect. We do not tolerate discrimination, harassment, or any conduct that compromises the safety or trust of the community. Concerns can be reported to leadership confidentially.
