The SAVI project includes an inspirational handicraft learning center, as well as operating a handicraft workshop run by the aged and learning impaired who cut and pack handicraft raw material and kits to be sold to a national craft distributor. SAVI aims to become a sustainable in-house industry based on reinvestment of profits to cover expenses of the project and fund future community philanthropic causes.

Through Savi’s extension efforts various arts and crafts programs, including a program designed for mothers and daughters will be operating throughout the summer.  One mother describes the experience, “A wonderful group was formed and both my daughter and myself – I wait anxiously for our special quality time together every Friday morning.  When we arrive, Yael Nechushtan, the group coordinator and some of the elderly members of the center greet us with light refreshments.  We each work on individual projects, help each other and share our progress along the way. The atmosphere is fun and creative.”

Additional programs are expected to open soon, including a program for grandparents and grandchildren, and a program just for women.  The common denominator between these programs is in SAVIs motto “Every One Can”, since no prior knowledge or expertise is required.   In the program, basic and simple techniques are taught that lead to surprising results and reinforces the belief that everyone has hidden creative talents.   The added advantage of the program is the focus on inter-generational activities providing real quality time between parents, children and grandparents.

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.

CLICK operates five Community Social Clubs, for the independent elderly, in separate distinct geographic locations of the city. These centers fill a tremendous cultural, educational and social gap in the lives of its participants. A Day Care Center for incapacitated elderly provides all of the services required for independent daily living.

CLICK operates an occupational therapy program for the housebound elderly, providing handicraft kits to their homes, to keep them active and give them meaningful occupation.

CLICK has also launched a new community support service for the elderly in conjunction with Eshel, the Local Municipality and Moked Enosh-: “The aim of the program is to enable elderly to remain in their own homes among friends and familiar surroundings as long as possible, even when they become frail, by delivering necessary services to their homes.

In cooperation with Eshel, and the Sport Department and Section for Aging Populations of the Hod Hasharon Municipality, Click has started weekly walking group for seniors.  The group is accompanied by counselors who during the walk provide explanations about how to walk safely, where it is safe to cross, etc.  The group also has the cooperation of the Hod Hasharon Police.

Walking regularly is particularly important for senior citizens.  It is easy to do, can be done on a daily basis, and does not require special equipment.  Although many seniors are interested in walking for exercise, they often are reluctant to walk alone for fear of falling or being injured when walking alone.  Participants and volunteer counselors are welcome to join.
