LATET - Israeli Humanitarian Aid

LATET ("to give") was established in order to reduce poverty, for a better and just society, by providing assistance to populations in need, mobilizing Israeli civil society toward mutual responsibility, and leading change in the national priorities. Latet Israeli Humanitarian Aid was founded in 1996 and is one of Israel's largest, most well-known nonprofits combating poverty and nutritional insecurity. Acting as an umbrella organization for 210 local NGOs, Latet operates the first national food bank in Israel and runs impactful aid programs, with responsibility, effectiveness and innovation while maintaining full transparency and a low overhead rate. Latet is an apolitical and non-governmental organization and most of our budget is funded by the Israeli civil society, companies and philanthropic foundations and federations. Latet gives ongoing food assistance to over 100,000 families and 1,700 Holocaust survivors in Israel every month. With over 30,000 Israeli volunteers joining Latet's aid programs and activities each year, Latet aims to mobilize Israeli civil society toward greater involvement in the humanitarian field, through heightened social awareness.
