Tikva LeChaim’s Flagship Project is the planned construction of a chain of

Mini-hotels near large medical centers that treat cancer stricken children

all around Israel. The mini-hotels will offer family-centered lodging and

support services to patients undergoing treatment and their families who are

far from home. They will include fully equipped rooms where children and both

parents can rest and spend time during the day when the child is having chemotherapy

treatments and even overnight between chemotherapy treatments.

This is an acute problem: children and their families cannot stay in the hospital nor can

they return to their homes because they must stay near the hospital. In addition, this may

take a long time.

Hundreds of families face this situation in oncology departments. Tikva LeChaim devotes

all its efforts to children going through intensive and painful chemotherapy treatments.

Leaving the hospital atmosphere improves a patient’s mood and refreshes the parents,

offering them a comfortable stay where they can get on with their lives, even though they

cannot be at home.

In addition to guest rooms, guesthouses will include a library, computer room, activity

rooms, and study rooms with tutors who will help children make up missed schoolwork,

a recreation center, a music room, and even a swimming pool. A dining room will serve

guests high-quality meals, and cafeteria services will provide free food to families around

the clock.

Tikva LeChaim is involved in negotiations to purchase the land and/or infrastructure

for the first Mini-hotel. As soon as that stage is over, the project can get underway. The

goal is to finish construction within three / two years of purchasing the land and/or the

infrastructure.

This flagship project will be the first of many other similar projects to come.
