MD TERRA - A Land of Wonderful Dreams
We help children receiving treatment in paediatric oncology, haemato-oncology, bone marrow transplant and gastroenterology departments. We also provide ongoing support to the Beit Shabtai Levi children’s home.
Our foundation was established in 2015. Since then, we have built a support network for children and families, bringing together people, resources and trust. Today, our team includes more than 100 professionals and volunteers from around the world, working together to provide ongoing support.
Our goal remains the same: to bring people together so that help arrives when it is needed.
WE WORK TO GIVE EVERY CHILD A CHILDHOOD
We help children regardless of their citizenship or social circumstances.
The children we support receive treatment at leading medical centres in Israel: Rambam (Haifa), Sheba (Ramat Gan), Schneider Children’s Medical Center (Petah Tikva), Ichilov (Tel Aviv), Hadassah Ein Kerem (Jerusalem) and Soroka (Be’er Sheva).
So Every Child Can Have a Childhood
The right to life, health
and a happy childhood
Help regardless of citizenship,
nationality or social circumstances
No child should go through
treatment alone
Care and support
throughout treatment
Human kindness matters just as much as medical care
CHERISHING MOMENTS OF JOY, HOPE AND DREAMS
Our Story
The foundation’s story began long before the paperwork or the organisation itself. It began with the personal story of our founder, Milana Mirzaeva.
When her third child was born, it became clear that he would need complex operations. That was when she understood how much support, kindness and human warmth mean to families in hospital.
Four years of volunteering followed, alongside children and families during treatment, waiting and recovery. One-off help could not meet every need. Families needed steady, ongoing support.
A Land of Wonderful Dreams
In 2015, the MDTerra charitable foundation was registered in Israel.
MDTerra stands for Miracle Dreams Terra, meaning “A Land of Wonderful Dreams”: a place where hope becomes part of everyday life.
How Our Symbol Has Changed
Our first symbol was spheres of infinity: kindness, support and help continue for as long as they are needed.
Then came hearts, a symbol of mutual support, care and hands holding one another. Later, the logo took the form of a six-pointed star, reflecting our connection to Israel.
The Meaning Stays the Same
MDTerra is a place where children and families feel supported and hopeful, and where life goes on even in the hardest circumstances.
Staff, volunteers, donors and families create this “land” together. There is always someone ready to help.
Today, our team includes more than 100 professionals and volunteers from around the world. We bring people, resources and trust together to provide ongoing support throughout treatment.
Our goal is to bring people together so that help arrives when it is needed.
Childhood cannot wait. As long as children need help, MDTerra will be there for them.
