Arava International Center for Agricultural Training (AICAT)

For decades, Jewish National Fund-USA has helped Israel transform scarcity into strength. Nowhere is this more powerful than in the Arava Desert, where the Arava International Center for Agricultural Training (AICAT) turns one of the world's harshest climates into a global hub for innovation, opportunity, and diplomacy.

Each year, more than 1,000 students from more than 20 developing countries across Africa and Asia come to learn Israel's desert agricultural breakthroughs - technologies that feed millions. They return home not only with skills, but with deep admiration for the people of Israel.

AICAT embodies everything Jewish National Fund-USA stands for: Zionist values, international leadership, and real, lasting impact.
