In 1995, several disabled IDF veterans and rehabilitation experts got together and set up the Challenge association to forge a new and positive image for people with disabilities. This unique association opens its doors to people with any kind of disability: physical, sensory, cognitive, emotional or psychological, regardless of religion, race, age or gender, and its goal is to see to their advancement and empowerment, social integration and to nurture excellence. EAPC has donated to the association by supporting an activity held in Ashkelon for children and youth with disabilities.
