Disabled Children and Adults

The weakest members of society

In Israel, every child is precious and loved by his immediate and extended family and by his community. The Government of Israel provides quality care for disabled children and adults, streamlining them in regular schools or in sheltered employment whenever possible. Group homes and hostels are available. But, unfortunately, despite all the good will in the world, government funding is not always sufficient to cover the huge needs and to provide the most sensitive, personal care for each disabled child and adult. Through CFOIC Heartland you can help provide vital support to a host of programs for the disabled. At Heart of Benjamin, in Ofra, children enjoy after-school programs and holiday camps. And there is respite care available as well when parents need an evening or weekend break from the demands of their special child.
