Empowering people with Special Needs

We are happy to report that throughout these past months Eitan has been pressing on with its mission, gradually expanding its field of impact so as to better address the needs, physical and emotional, of the disabled community in Israel. This ongoing endeavor entails the distribution of our training programs and groups within Israel's socio-geographic periphery.

Communities residing in these far-away regions often lack access to services freely available to inhabitants of the country's central regions. Consequently, disabled members of said communities are deprived of life-changing rehabilitative programs. To this end, we've been working on securing our organizational infrastructure in various periphery-based localities. One such initiative is currently underway in the Galilee region, where we are in the midst of recruiting a team of 21 trainers, coordinators, a dietitian and a regional director. Once preparations are completed will be able to launch our services and engage hundreds of disabled individuals from the northern part of Israel.

Other plans of note include future collaborations with various schools across the country, as well as preparations for the annual return of Eitan Run. As you may recall, the previous event was attended by President Yitzhak Hertzog and joined by more than 1800 runners, both disabled and non-disabled. This socially empowering event has become a tradition, attracting thousands of individuals for a one-of-a-kind, unifying experience.

As more people are becoming aware of the unique benefits of our programs, the demand for our services is growing faster than our ability to deliver them. We are looking for new partners and supporters to ensure that all Israelis with special needs are able to benefit from professional fitness training.
