SPOTLIGHT CASE
Accessible Playground in Kiryat Malachi
In new-immigrant city of Kiryat Malachi, in the northern Negev, close to Ashdod, live over 140 children with disabilities requiring a wheelchair. They couldn't play or engage with other children, because the city had no accessible play areas for them. The socio-economic status of the city, already in a periphery region underserved and isolated, scores only 3/10, with almost 50% of the families on social assistance.

Education
Education is key to breaking cycles of poverty and is a critical long-term investment towards stronger communities. We fundraise for educational projects such as expanding schools to accommodate increasing demand; after-school programs for tutoring and support, and education through museums and exhibits.

We fund life-saving healthcare facilities that provide services like heart surgery for children, trauma & PTSD therapy, cancer treatment, and drug and addiction recovery.
Recent projects: Glassman Centre for PTSD, The Resilience Center, therapy gardens at Beit Shulamit Cancer Centre and Hosen Centre for Drug Recovery

PROJECTS
Senior Support
Aging populations are sadly under-funded and under-supported. We are proud to provide support to help Israel’s elderly live their golden years with dignity and care. This includes expanding facilities at senior care centres, Holocaust survivor support, and volunteer buddy programs and in-home care.
Recent projects: Resident rooms and Sensory Garden at Israeli Alzheimer’s Medical Center, and upgrades & renovations for Holocaust survivors at Amcha’s Rehovot Centre.
PROJECTS
Special Needs
In recent years, we have seen a growing need to support specialized care for people with cognitive special needs. We have supported residential homes, specialized therapy rooms, and educational facilities all tailored to providing trained and customized care for people with special needs.
Recent projects: Home for Life in Be’er Sheva, practice kitchen at Dekalim High School Practice Kitchen, Ohel Asher Dental Clinic for patients with special needs.

PROJECTS
Sports, Arts and Music
Through sports, arts and music, the projects we support are helping children and adults discover their talents and reach their potential. In many cases, these activities are paired with therapy, education, or community development to create culturally vibrant and diverse communities.
Recent projects: Ensemble studios at the Clore Centre for Performing Arts, accessible dance and theatre spaces at Vertigo Art Village, sports facilities for Israel Tennis Education Centres.
PROJECTS
Youth-At-Risk
Many of our projects ultimately serve youth at risk, who come from underserved communities, whose parents may struggle with meeting their own needs, and who have a higher chance of ending up in dangerous or criminal activities. By providing these youth with attention, extra support, inspiring mentors and facilities to socialize, we can disrupt recurring cycles of poverty and help these kids achieve their fullest potential.
Recent projects: renovations at the Fidel Youth Centre, renovations for the Warm Haven for Orthodox Girls, Jaffa Daled After-School Enrichment Centre
