Helping Disabled Children in Israel This Year

When you think about the world of charity, you oftentimes picture a hungry little child in your mind. Everyone remembers those commercials that said, “for only $2 a day you can feed a hungry child for one month.” After all, people who truly need money have a very hard time affording food. That’s the basics psychology behind it and this helps to expand charity giving across the world.

However, not all charities are primarily about food. And while donations worldwide still primarily go to food organizations, other charities are slowing catching up as more people realize the importance of these other charities. There are some nonprofits, like Sulam Israel, who for example help children with disabilities integrate into society.

This specific field isn’t exactly as attractive as a little girl holding out her hands in sadness. However, it is equally as important.

Many disabled children are not provided with the proper education and thus end up falling behind in life. Fitting into and contributing to society becomes all but impossible to these children. This is where Sulam comes in.

Sulam provides 77 classes for roughly 600 disabled students. There are 12 branches across Israel with over 630 staff members. Sulam evaluates each child, and then provides therapy, inclusion, advocacy, and support for them. By providing a range of activities for these children, Sulam has been able to see the successful integration rate go from single digits to over 30% for disabled children.

Unique treatment initiatives are used to help these children achieve their max functioning potential. This includes physical therapy, sensory integration, music therapy, performaing arts group sessions, and more than a dozen others.

If you are interested in helping to give the gift of a future to a child in need, please consider donating to Sulam today.
