American Friends of Tzohar

There is a desperate need in Israel for Special Schools for special needs children. According to the published statistics of the Ministry of Welfare and Social Security Administration, over 1,000 disabled and mentally handicapped or otherwise severely challenged youngsters are at home nationwide for lack of an appropriate framework, with the number increasing every year. The problem is especially acute in Northern Israel where the lack of institutions for the disabled is sorely felt.

Since 1986, the professional staff at Tzohar has been utilizing cutting-edge technology to provide children with a diverse and sophisticated program of specialized academics and therapy. These treatments are designed to aid children ages 3-21 with disabilities running the gamut from Down syndrome to Spina Bifida, Tzohar is recognized for its unique and comprehensive program.  

Today, Tzohar provides a very special educational curriculum and productive learning environment for over 100 children and offers support and guidance to their families. Our newly renovated and specially equipped campus services children with difficulties ranging from the mildly dysfunctional, to complexly brain-damaged, with special accommodations for the terminally ill.

 

Please help us keep the doors open for our disabled children and their families.  Tzohar seeks funding to continue to provide necessary equipment and amenities to young innocent children crippled with chronic illnesses. A sweet young boy paralyzed from the neck down is patiently and hopefully awaiting a stander brace so that he can be placed in an upright position; A Sweet four year old girl with cerebral palsy is desperately awaiting a walker. Without your support, Tzohar cannot meet the needs of its pupils.
