A report from the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) stipulates that social and environmental factors constitute major hinderances for people with disabilities. KKL-JNF addresses this issue in the context of its activities and works to make its forests and open spaces fully accessible. In accordance with the principles of universal design, KKL-JNF facilitates the implementation of inviting and suitable physical environments and facilities throughout Israel for homes for life, care and medical centers, schools, youth-at-risk residences, and playgrounds for children with special needs. KKL-JNF observes the annual International Day of People with Disabilities on December 3. For KKL-JNF, accessibility is a priority issue, serving to promote inclusiveness and social equity for people with disabilities. Currently, the Nes Harim Field and Forest Education Center is being made accessible, thanks to donations by KKL Switzerland. The project will widen the circle of participants and include youth with disabilities, enabling them to enjoy summer camp activities.
We trust that together, with your marketing skills and our success in realizing projects, we can continue to leverage this important issue.
This issue implements the following UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's):
