The Malki Foundation was established in 2001, by Frimet and Arnold Roth to honor the memory of their daughter Malki, murdered in a terrorist attack in the heart of Jerusalem when she was fifteen.

 

Malki’s experiences with her own severely disabled youngest sister led her to become

passionate about bringing happiness, support and encouragement to the lives of

children facing similar challenges. Malki volunteered to work with children with special

needs. At school and in the community, she inspired her peers to do the same.

 

Since its inception, the Malki Foundation has been a source of empowerment for families choosing homecare for their child with special needs. We believe no living arrangements work better for a child with special needs than living at home, and no caregivers – and advocates – do a better job than the parents and siblings.

 

Strictly non-sectarian and apolitical, the Malki Foundation gives support to every part of Israel’s social and religious spectrum. It comes via two channels: long-term lending of homecare equipment like walkers and standers; and funding essential paramedical therapies.

 

More than 3,700 families have benefitted, via 40,000+ hours of paramedical therapies and more than 5,000 equipment loans.
