An Israeli remedial community set against the backdrop of the Negev Desert in southern Israel, Kfar Rafael is a center committed to helping those with special needs to live independent and significant lives. In the words of one handicapped resident, called “Big Oded” as he is the oldest villager at 70 years old, he describes the progression of the village’s conception in 1979 until now: “20 years ago, Kfar Rafael was a desert; now, it is an oasis.” In Kfar Rafael, instead of being simply caretakers for the mentally and physically handicapped villagers, foster families and volunteers enable the villagers to lead full and fulfilling lives in which they provide service and food for their community as well as beautiful products sold abroad.

Living Bread plays a partnership in this, selling bottles of Precious Anointing Olive Oil for the village and providing work and funds for the village itself. This oil, handpicked from the village’s own olive trees by the handicapped villagers, is a tribute to the dedication and cheerful work that comes from the handicapped, despite their many disabilities. The oil goes through a long process, every aspect produced by the handicapped villagers. The oil is then bought by Living Bread International Church, which sells the product and gives all of the proceeds from the oil back to the village to provide funding for renovations, more workshops, and employment. Overage goes to feeding the Palestinian refugees.
