The Israeli charity Keren Malki, which supplies equipment and support to children with severe physical disabilities, has launched a London-based fundraising branch.

Keren Malki’s chair, Arnold Roth, was in London this week to launch Keren Malki UK, the Jerusalem-based charity which has helped hundreds of Jewish, Muslim and Christian children in Israel.

Daniel Mann, from KM’s new London team, said: “I read about a boy who learned to smile again, thanks to Keren Malki. But when I tried to make a donation I realised it was not straightforward from Britain. Now it is.” For more information see www.KerenMalki.org
