About The Malki Foundation

ESTABLISHED IN 2001, Keren Malki (the Hebrew name of The Malki Foundation) was created to serve as a memorial to the life of Malka Chana Roth, killed at the age of 15 in the bombing attack on Jerusalem’s Sbarro restaurant in August 2001, and who adored her own special-needs sister. Malki dedicated herself to caring for people with disabilities. ▪ THE MISSION of The Malki Foundation is to empower the families of special-needs children in Israel to choose home care. We do this in three ways: by long-term lending of essential home-care equipment; by granting funds to greatly subsidize the cost of para-medical therapeutic care; and, via the innovative Zlata Hersch Memorial Therapists on Wheels Program, by bringing therapists into the homes of special-needs children living in Israel’s southern and northern periphery communities. (Click for a video illustrating aspects of Keren Malki's three programs.) ▪ BEHIND The Malki Foundation’S WORK is the conviction that parents are usually the best advocates and caregivers for a disabled child. Their efforts deserve maximum encouragement and support. The Malki Foundation does this via concrete programs that, for more than a decade, have contributed positively to the lives of thousands of special-needs children and their families.
