Relief for the AKIM Community in the South

AKIM Israel is leading the way in supporting and caring for persons with intellectual disabilities at Israel's time of crisis. Staff, volunteers and our 67 active branches from the south to the north are making sure that no one is left behind. Our emergency plan includes: Rest & Respite: Providing housing, food and care for hundreds of people (including families) from regions at risk together with direct care workers from cities and towns in the south. Digital Community Center: online program ensuring that our people remain connected and engaged. Two programs: one for children with 160 participants, one for adults with over 1,200 participants (total audience growing each week). Funds are required for content and presenters from varying fields of interest. Tablets & Ipads: To ensure that everyone is connected we are purchasing and distributing an additional 150 tablets (230 provided to date), enabling participation in the Digital Community Center. Home Visit Brigade: providing hands-on care, activity kits, and basic needs for struggling families. Please help us sustain crucial support for the AKIM community at this time:
