How does CLICK give the elderly community a new lease of life?
For many elderly people in Israel, growing older can bring increasing isolation, declining health and financial hardship. For Holocaust Survivors and housebound seniors in particular, loneliness and a loss of independence can have a devastating impact on daily life and emotional wellbeing.
CLICK helps restore connection, dignity and purpose by creating a warm and supportive community for elderly Israelis. Through its Day Centres, members enjoy hot meals, social activities, fitness classes, workshops and meaningful friendships that help combat loneliness and improve quality of life. CLICK also empowers seniors through its SAVI programme, where participants create handmade products, earn an income and regain a sense of independence and self-worth. Holocaust Survivors are given a safe and understanding space through Café Europa, while housebound elderly individuals are able to stay connected through CLICK’s Virtual Technology Programme, joining activities and social gatherings live from their own homes.
CLICK is ensuring more seniors feel connected, valued and supported every single day.
Every story matters
