Ohel Sarah is dedicated to the care and development of over 650 children and adults with learning and physical disabilities in Israel. We offer continuous care every day of the year from the age of 6 until end of life. By providing schools, housing and employment centres – we aim to give our students crucial life skills and increase their confidence and independence. Our goal is to enable each person to integrate into mainstream life, whilst giving them support and love throughout their lives.
Ohel Sarah operates four schools for children aged 6-22 with various degrees of cognitive disabilities, often accompanied by behavioural and learning challenges. In all four schools, our professional staff of educators and therapists develop an Individual Learning Programme for each and every one of the students
Our students graduate from school at the age of 21, and prepare to begin their adult lives. We give them the opportunity to gain employment and earn a monthly salary.
Ohel Sarah operates a housing division with 35 apartments for supported living, 8 homes for married couples, providing housing for over 170 adults with cognitive disabilities. We have recently opened up a new home for boys aged 6+.
