Our Task at Hand
We opened the doors of our campus to those in need of a warm, safe environment during times of crisis, until they can return to their homes.
The Shalva National Crisis Response Center is the ultimate solution at this time, thanks to our exclusive capacity to provide safety, rehabilitative stability, and social and emotional support to people with and without disabilities directly affected by fighting and rockets. We are working around the clock to provide shelter, aid, practical support, and comfort.

Parents Speak
"The war has taken from our children the most important thing: happiness and emotional safety. After two days at Shalva, I saw the light in my daughter's eyes again."
"When my son gets back from Shalva, he doesn't want to get off the bus."
"After two days of going to Shalva, she was able to sleep again. She fell asleep at night and so did I. For the first time since the war began."
