Helpful Village recognized with Fundación MAPFRE Social Innovation Awards.

We’re thrilled to announce that Helpful Village has been recognized with the Fundación MAPFRE Social Innovation Award. The event held at Madrid’s Museo Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, brought together innovative initiatives focused on transforming communities through technology and social impact.

The Helpful Village platform supports non-profit organizations that help older adults age in place with dignity and independence. By automating administrative tasks, their platform enables “villages” to operate more efficiently and extend their reach to serve more older adults in their communities.

This recognition validates the village movement to leverage technology for meaningful social change, helping communities keep older adults connected, supported, and thriving in their own homes.

ChaiVillageLA

ChaiVillageLA is the first synagogue-based village in the country, a bold partnership of two cutting-edge Los Angeles-area synagogues—Temple Emanuel and Temple Isaiah—to challenge their congregants to rethink their paradigms of aging and use their accumulated experience, talents, wisdom and creativity to build a community of support, caring and enrichment. Being a faith-based village, ChaiVillageLA aligns itself with the values of its synagogues and the wider Jewish community.
