As a leading company in Israel, Diesenhaus not only works to benefit the environment but also is committed to contributing to the Israeli community. In the past three years, this has taken the form of support for “Wings – Art is the Answer” – a not-for-profit multidisciplinary center of the arts that brings together artists who have undergone emotional crises. Knafayim’s artistic ventures invite a fascinating, honest, and often fragile peek into the world of these artists. Art for them is a way of expressing and processing the challenges in their lives as they deal with emotional breakdowns. Knafayim provides a place where they can come every day and create their art on a professional level, supported by a staff in seven disciplines: plastic arts, theater, music, animation, photography, film, and writing.
Diesenhaus contributes by raising funds, providing administrative services pro bono, and forging partnerships with other organizations and with government bodies.
