PM Lapid to Individuals with Disabilities: We're in This Together!

Shalva had the honor of hosting Prime Minister Yair Lapid who chose to announce a historic government bill that allocates some NIS 2 billion to integrating people with disabilities into society, at Shalva.

The bill, that was initiated by Yair Lapid and Welfare and Social Services Minister Meir Cohen, provides needed funding for a range of new services. Shalva will play a significant role in this exciting new development.

By choosing Shalva as the location to present this important law, the government showed just how strong their support for the full inclusion of individuals with disabilities into society is. We thank them for this honor and on behalf of Shalva's children and families, thank them for making sure this new law was voted in.

Yair Lapid, who himself is a father to a woman with disabilities, said that with this law the State of Israel is saying to individuals with disabilities, "We are in this TOGETHER!"
