Gilat Foundation

Gilat Foundation provides theatre in eight academic children’s hospitals within our Kingdom, spread across five provinces in the Netherlands and Curaçao. In doing so, we reach over 7,500 chronically ill children and family members every year. Beyond our activities within the hospitals, we can also be found online for fun activities.

Our ambassadors

Hakim Traïda

“Interacting with the children in the hospital creates unforgettable moments.”

Barbara Barend

“Letting children and their parents do something they can do for a while, so they can enjoy themselves for a while. That’s what we do it for with the Gilat theatre.”

Albert Verlinde

“A child in hospital should be able to look forward to something. That’s when a performance is fantastic.”

Halina Reijn

“I really like how Gilat Foundation uses theatre and creativity to distract children from the daily worries, insecurities and pain they face.”
