Educational Scholarships and Bursaries
Help a Terror Survivor Pursue Education / Attend University
Victims of terror and their families suffer lifelong emotional damage – but that’s not all. The downstream effects of trauma can lead to family impoverishment when survivors struggle to maintain employment. OneFamily is here to help the children / young adults of those families, who may lack education opportunity because of financial struggle.
Provide a University Scholarship or High School Bursary for a Terror Survivor: $4500
A scholarship may be made in the name of someone you would like to honour, or in the name of Karine Malka, who lost her life to terror just as she began to fulfill her own dream of going to university.
Karine Malka was 23 years old and had just begun her university studies. In her name we raise money to support child survivors of terror through their high school years, and /or to send them to university.
Karine lost her life on August 31, 2004 at 23 years old. She was one of 16 people killed in the suicide bombing of a Beersheva city bus – one of two murder scenes that day, on routes #6 and #12, just before 3:00PM. 100 others were gravely wounded.
The youngest in her family, Karine was a student of industrial management at the local College of the Negev. She was on her way to work that day at Beersheva’s Nurit Absorption Center, where she worked as an educator with new immigrants from Ethiopia.
She had served in Paratroopers Brigade of the IDF and following her service had come back home to Beersheva to study at university and to work.
Among those with whom Karine , worked are the six children of Tekele Tiroyaient, who was also killed in the terror attack.
Karine had premonitions of death, and would often tell her family, “I’m probably going to be killed in a terrrorist attack,” her brother, Yossi, recalled. “She kept repeating it,” he said.
Karine Malka was buried in Beersheva. She is survived by her parents, Sara and Rafi, a brother, Yossi, and sister, Orit.
