An Alumot venture
Bishvila
Nature hikes for people with disabilities, on inaccessible trails
Bishvila was founded by Lia Ben Shach, an 18-year-old from Moshav Kidron, in memory of her grandmother Yehudit, who passed away from ALS in 2019.
Bishvila takes people with disabilities on nature hikes using special all-terrain chairs, on trails that are not otherwise accessible. It serves anyone who needs these chairs to hike, and anyone who wants to volunteer and take part.
The venture's goals: enabling people with disabilities to hike inaccessible trails, experience nature and gain a sense of capability, while advancing an equal and mutually supportive society.
