Health is a fundamental human right, and there are many positive developments in global health that offer hope for a healthier and more equitable world. According to the World Health Organization, global life expectancy has increased by more than 20 years since 1950, and maternal and child mortality rates have declined significantly in many countries. There have also been major advances in medical research and technology, with new treatments and cures being developed for a range of diseases and conditions. In addition, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of preventative health, with many countries implementing public health campaigns and policies to promote healthy lifestyles and reduce the incidence of chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. These positive trends indicate that progress is being made in improving global health outcomes, and that there is hope for a future where all people have access to the health care and support they need to thrive.

ISRAEL GUIDE DOG CENTER FOR THE BLIND

ISRAEL GUIDE DOG CENTER FOR THE BLIND

The mission of the Israel Guide Dog Center for the Blind is to improve the quality of life of visually impaired Israelis by providing them with independence, mobility and self confidence, as well as renewed self-esteem and companionship through the use of guide dogs. What we do: We breed, raise and train the guide dogs at our facility in Beit Oved, Israel, just south of Tel Aviv. When a blind Israeli requests our assistance, we transport them to our center, house and feed them for three weeks during training, and provide an additional week of training in their homes. We also provide follow-up care twice a year to make sure that the partnership is still working properly. This is all done AT NO COST TO THE BLIND! We are able to provide these services through the generosity of our donors – who have the vision to help those less fortunate. Our annual budget is just over $2.7 Million dollars, and as of December 2017, we had produced over 600 partnerships between Israelis who are blind or visually impaired and professionally trained guide dogs. Secondary Mission: In 2013 we added a secondary mission by providing Service Companions to people with Special Needs. While half of our dogs are selected for guide dog training, 50% fail to meet our exacting standards during evaluations, but these amazingly well trained dogs can still help people. In 2013 we formalized a program to repurpose these "career-change" dogs and provide them to blind children, autistic children, soldiers with PTSD or other adults with a variety of special needs. All of the dogs we produce go to loving homes and serve a purpose by helping people in need.
