ORT Jet shows power of collaboration
“The word that encapsulates ORT Jet is ‘hope’”, said Ian Janet, ORT Jet veteran volunteer mentor at the ORT Jet Annual Awards, recently. ORT JET, the enterprise development division of ORT SA, was established to assist, support, uplift, and empower small-to-medium-sized businesses within the South African Jewish community.

Said Chief Rabbi Dr Warren Goldstein, “I would like to pay tribute to the mentors and the mentees, and to all those involved in the success of ORT Jet. At heart, this is the power of collaboration. These people have the highest standards of ethics and decency, generosity of spirit, and vision. May you all grow from strength to strength.”
ORT Jet Manager Helene Itzkin pointed out that the contribution of ORT Jet to the economy far outweighs the amount of donor funding required to run the department. “We would like to continue to scale up the work we do,” she said. “To do this, we need corporate and other support.”
