About

About Chimes Israel Chimes Israel, an Israeli non-profit organization, has been helping individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities since 1991. We empower people with disabilities to harness their abilities and skills to live with dignity, independence, and active community participation. Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for individuals with disabilities, from all communities, every day. Our vision is to be an acknowledged motivating force, inspiring society and the world to be inclusive of all people with disabilities. With a compassionate and highly trained team, we offer state-of-the-art therapeutic and rehabilitative services tailored to the individual needs of each person with disabilities we serve. Our beneficiaries, ranging in age from infant to elderly, come from diverse backgrounds, including all ethnicities, religions, nationalities, ages, and genders. Our daytime services, delivered through 27 centers and programs, include early childhood rehabilitative care, afterschool programs, supported employment, leisure and enrichment activities, adult rehabilitative nursing care, community groups, and mental health employment services, benefiting over 1,300 people with disabilities. We collaborate with Israel's government ministries (Health, Education, Labor, Social Affairs, and Social Services), local authorities, and other community caregivers to deliver our services. S.O.S. – Our Most Urgent Fundraising Need: The Families in Growth Program War doesn’t stop at the front lines. It enters the home. Many parents of young children with disabilities are not only struggling to meet their children’s complex needs—they are struggling themselves. Trauma, loss, financial hardship, and prolonged instability leave families with no energy left to cope. Our daytime early childhood intervention programs play a critical role, but they cannot protect once a child returns to a home under severe strain. Without stable parenting, children face real risks of emotional collapse, developmental regression, and even foster care placement. That is why Chimes Israel created Families in Growth—a crisis-response, home-based intervention program for at-risk families raising children with disabilities. Multidisciplinary professionals work directly with parents in their homes, helping them establish daily routines, reduce emotional overload, reinforce therapeutic goals, and strengthen caregiving skills in real time. The impact is measurable and lasting. Children stabilize and begin to thrive. Parents regain confidence. Families stay together. THIS PROGRAM URGENTLY NEEDS SUPPORT. KEEP CHILDREN AT HOME.
