Access Israel, established in Israel in 1999, is the first non-profit organization in Israel whose main mission is to promote accessibility and improve the quality of life of the disabled population through improving access to public and commercial facilities, the environment, events, transportation, and other areas.

Access Israel strives to make Israel a place where people with various disabilities are integrated into society with dignity, respect, equal rights and maximum independence. Since its establishment, Access Israel has revolutionized the quality of life and accessibility for hundreds of thousands of people in Israel, and has become a leading organization worldwide and a model for making businesses, governmental, academic and non-profit organizations accessible to people with disabilities.

These achievements result from a wide range of innovative projects, ongoing awareness activities and improvement of business models aimed at making Israel an accessible place.

Over 1.5 million people with disabilities live in Israel today (20% of the population). About 700,000 of them deal with severe disabilities whether from birth or inflicted by car/work accidents, disease and/or old age, or wars/ terrorism. They suffer from physical, sensory, cognitive and mental disabilities, and a lack of accessibility prevents them from leading a normal life, causing them and their families' great suffering. The disability does not differentiate between religions, economic backgrounds or social status.

Therefore, Access Israel makes it an issue to act in all sectors, in all geographical areas in Israel with an emphasis on the periphery in order to make Israel more accessible and integrate 100% of its population (and possible guests from abroad).
