About

Established in 2001, Keren Malki [www.kerenmalki.org] provides ongoing support for families in Israel caring for a severely disabled child. Its work is done via three programs: long-term lending of assistive equipment; funding of vital paramedical therapies; at-home therapist visits in periphery communities. Without Keren Malki’s involvement, many of these families may find themselves institutionalizing their child for lack of an alternative, with severely negative effects on both the child and the family. Keren Malki empowers families to take the alternative path, and care at home for a child with special needs. Keren Malki stands for the conviction that no one can do a better job of raising a special-needs child than the child’s own family. Those families need support, respect and financial assistance – which Keren Malki provides on a strictly non-political, non-sectarian basis.
