A group of dedicated and committed local residents, joined forces with the Department of Human Services under the auspices of their local municipality. Together they promoted the development of a not-for-profit organization called CLICK, Community Leadership and Intervention of Crisis for Kids and the Elderly.
CLICK was established in order to meet the increasing needs of children from families in stress and the lonely aged sector. Since 1983, CLICK has been forth coming in taking care of their requirements in Hod Hasharon, a municipality close to Tel Aviv.
Our vision is that the aged in our community will enjoy a better quality of life, as a result of the intervention of the local community. CLICK believes that today’s elderly are a potential active resource, awaiting opportunities to become "integral contributors" of our society.
CLICK strives to improve the quality of life for the aged by providing vocational, educational, social and cultural services in an empathetic secure environment; thereby raising their individual and community image and enabling them to remain integral contributors to society.
Alongside responsibility of operating our core programs CLICK aspires to self sustainability, so as to support additional secondary innovative projects targeting children, the disabled and the weaker members in our society.
We helped to create these pictures.The smiles, the hopes, the joys of life! They are all part of our commitment to create a better community. As volunteers, you too can be part of the picture.
We invite you to enjoy our range of diverse social innovations and help us create an enhanced quality of life for our community.
Yours,
Ziona Kemelman, Social Worker, Chairperson and Linda Mosek, Social Worker, Director
"There are 1,700 new nonprofits in Israel every year and we're all competing for the same funds:- Governmental, municipal and donations", says Australian-born Linda Mosek. "That's what brought me to the realization that business innovation is the future for the not-for-profit sector".
A new creative method has been found to provide services for the aged, through business innovation in the social sector.
The CLICK not-for-profit operates an innovative business venture called SAVI, that designs and manufactures handicraft kits.
"Mosek represents a new breed of social worker: those who recognize the value of business models and practices to achieve social aims".
"We aim to alter the status and image of the elderly from dependent, weak and vulnerable, to productive and capable".
