[4] After the great waves of Aliyah subsided, WLI changed its focus to social welfare: helping needy students, troubled families, abused women and children and more.

In the 1950s Women's League pioneered a partnership with The Hebrew University in Jerusalem on projects to improve the welfare of the students.

WLI endowed a Chair in Sociology and built the first dormitories for female students on the Givat Ram campus.

Also in Netanya, WLI offered after-school programs for elementary school children and volunteers for Meals on Wheels.

[7] WLI pioneered The Meeting Place for Troubled Families, originally set up in Haifa and expanded to Tel Aviv and Netanya.

The Pioneer Home in Tel Aviv serves as a dormitory for students and young Jews from around the world, who come to Israel through “The Israeli Experience” and Taglit sponsored by the Jewish Agency.

[8] After the second Lebanon war WLI has been collaborating with Haifa Rambam Medical Center in establishing a Trauma ER Centre for Children, and donated 1.5 million dollars for this purpose.
