Social Magic (NGO) is a social voluntary movement, acting to alleviate loneliness and to build solidarity among individuals and groups, by forming Assistance Communities for Transformation (ACT – In Hebrew, the acronym means Magic). The movement, established during the social demonstrations of the summer of 2011, gives professional multi-faceted aid-services to citizens who find it hard to cope with the harsh socio-economic reality in Israel and assists individuals and families to overcome loneliness, poverty, debts, sickness, and the accompanying hardships. By establishing change-facilitating social-aid communities, we connect such individuals with volunteers, ‘companions’, who provide personal aid, as well as with professionals - economists, legal aids, social workers, and counselors, who form a wide-ranging professional support network.
Our Vision:
We are a social activist movement that harnesses the power of Assistance Communities for Transformation to establish the social and financial strength of citizens, to remove the separating barriers which create loneliness and to build solidarity among individuals and groups throughout the state of Israel. We will not cease until all beings are held in another's mind.
We are inspired by great leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, the Dalai Lama, and the non-violent popular movements they led.
Our dream is to bring about social healing, to help create bridges between people and social sectors in the country, and to work towards the establishment of a cohesive and healthy society.
