Enabling quality home care, one family at a time

The challenges facing a family caring for a child with serious special-needs are never simple. Neurological disorders, severe illness and developmental problems in childhood change the lives of all concerned: the child, the parents, the siblings and - in some ways - the society around them. Experience shows that such families are rarely in a position to stand up to these challenges without sustained, targeted help.

The Malki Foundation is focused on empowerment, allowing families from every segment of Israeli society to provide quality home-care for their special-needs child the way they believe it ought to be provided. We provide families with this power in two ways: by long-term lending, free-of-charge, of home-care equipment on a long-term loan basis; and by granting them the funds needed so their child can receive the para-medical therapeutic care that benefits their child.

Our conviction is that no one knows better than the family what's best for their child. No one can give loving care to that child better than the family. Home-care can be a very powerful part of helping a child with special needs.

Now in its sixth year, the Malki Foundation (in Hebrew: Keren Malki) was established as a unique living memorial to a girl who dedicated herself to caring for people with disabilities, among them her own severely disabled sister. Today despite, or perhaps because of, an efficient, low-cost structure and our dedication to making the most out of donated funds, the Malki Foundation plays a unique role in providing its special brand of tangible, concrete support to more than a thousand families in Israel.

The numbers are growing rapidly week by week, but we know we have barely scratched the surface of the need. More >

Calling all Brits! Thanks to the initiative of some very fine Londoners, Keren Malki UK has now officially opened its doors and is happy to receive tax-effective sterling donations to assist the work of Keren Malki.  More

Keren Malki regrets to announce the temporary suspension of the acceptance process for new applications to its Right to Nurture Program. Support will continue to be provided to the hundreds of families already registered in the program. More

Arnold Roth addresses terror victims (21-Jan-08) The 4th international congress of terror victims took place in Madrid, Spain in January 2008. Arnold Roth's speech is here. Extract: "Your country, like mine, has continued to suffer from the ongoing barbarism and viciousness of the terrorists [and] has found it necessary to take defensive measures which conflict with our desire to live a free and unrestricted life. The tension, the divisions and the debate which result from these measures have become an increasingly weighty factor in the lives of many communities. We have to learn to deal with these issues because they will not disappear in the foreseeable future. We have every reason to believe, in fact, that they will become larger and more serious. This is because the terrorists are not losing the battle..."
