Support Program for Wounded Soldiers

Support and Assistance for Wounded Soldiers and Their Families

Program Objective

To provide comprehensive support for wounded soldiers and their families from the moment of injury through the rehabilitation process.

Program Activities

The Wounded Support Program provides assistance to war-injured soldiers and their families through approximately 100 volunteers across 13 hospitals nationwide, operating 24/7.
The around-the-clock support includes assistance with emergency admission processes, real-time reporting and close family support, full coordination with the military, housing solutions for families with full or partial funding to ensure comfortable conditions and continuous support, meals and drinks, duffel bag kits for the wounded, and daily support from hospitalization through rehabilitation.
Additionally, the program offers emotional therapies such as therapeutic horseback riding and animal-assisted therapy, as well as psychological support tailored to the needs of the wounded and their families.
To date, the initiative has assisted over 150 wounded individuals and their families by providing a comprehensive support system that helps them cope and rehabilitate toward a return to routine life.

A team of 100 active volunteers is currently operating across 13 hospitals.

Around 150 personal assistance kits have been delivered to wounded soldiers.

Additional Assistance in Special Cases

For complex cases requiring support beyond the hospital setting, we collaborate with additional support systems within the Foundation, including:

Psychological support services, provided in collaboration with the Foundation’s Resilience and Trauma Processing Center.
Outsourced specialized therapies, such as therapeutic horseback riding, dog-assisted therapy, and more; sometimes offered even before the Ministry of Defense grants official recognition.

The Support Program for the Wounded serves as a source of strength, hope, and support for injured soldiers and their families, helping them recover and return to healthy, full lives.
