About Us
Our Heroes who have endured and
survived a terror attack or have been
wounded in military actions in defense
of Israel are often left housebound
solely under the protective wing of
close family which can be very
demoralizing and debilitating.
The natural urge of our Heroes is to be rehabilitated, to build self
confidence and to win once again!!
Tikvot is a non profit volunteer based organization which rehabilitates
Israel's victims of terror through sport.
Tikvot means "Hopes" in Hebrew and it has been proven that sport Tikvot's
tool provides our Heroes with Hope, giving them the power to restore self
confidence and dignity and ultimately bringing back those long-lost smiles.
Tikvot operates in tandem with the world’s top specialist organizations
with specific expertise in the design of unique sports rehabilitation programs
suited expressly to each disability. TIKVOT - brings along the guidance, support
and funding for these projects, beginning with the onset of injury and the
subsequent period of hospitalization to ultimate rehabilitation on the sports
field.
