Welcome To "This Ongoing War"

THIS ONGOING WAR is not part of the activity of the Malki Foundation which was founded by us, Frimet and Arnold Roth of Jerusalem. But it is inspired by the same tragic circumstances.

Keren Malki, the Malki Foundation, is a memorial to the life of Malki Roth, our daughter, murdered at the age of 15 in a terrorist massacre in the centre of Jerusalem executed by terrorists in the service of Hamas. Beyond its function as a remembrance of a life lost, Keren Malki has provided and continues daily to provide tangible, concrete, invaluable support to more than two thousand Israeli families of every background - Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Druze and others - caring at home for a seriously disabled child.

Neurological disorders, severe illness and developmental problems in childhood change the lives of all concerned: the child, the parents, the siblings and - in some ways - the society around them. Such families are rarely in a position to stand up to these challenges without sustained, targeted help. In Israel, sadly, the government is part of the problem rather than part of the solution. That's where Keren Malki steps in.

Founded in 2001, the foundation's work is channeled into two active programs. One is focused on providing specialized equipment in the home, and the other on home-based therapies. In both channels, we aim to empower families who want to give their seriously disabled child the best possible care at home.

Keren Malki is unique in the work it does, and depends on donations and volunteer efforts to enable its efforts to continue. We hope you will consider giving your support. Click here for more information about the important work of Keren Malki.
