About This Cause
Latet- Israeli Humanitarian Aid was established 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. Our work includes the following programs: Nutritional Security Initiative – Latet’s Nutritional Security initiative seeks to reduce the severe nutritional insecurity among families and individuals in Israel by rescuing, purchasing, collecting, and distributing food through our network of 210 local partner NGOs that are helping populations in need. We distribute $77M worth of assistance annually to 95,000 families every month in 125 municipalities across the country. Food Rescue - Latet's Food Rescue initiative is a unique system that aims to rescue perfectly edible food that would otherwise be thrown away. 80% of the food Latet distributes comes from food rescue and we work in cooperation with the leading food companies and retail chains in order to close the gap between food waste and the number of families living in nutritional insecurity in Israel. The food we rescue on a daily basis from the food industry and 241 retail chain branches in the country, totaling $60.8M of worth in 2023, is distributed through Latet's network of partner NGOs to those who need it most. Aid for Life – Latet provides impoverished Holocaust survivors with a holistic aid package tailored to their needs. We support 1,450 Holocaust survivors with a monthly food box, emergency fund for paramedical needs, home restorations, as well as social support in the form of individual volunteer visits and social events. Latet Youth - Latet Youth is one of a kind youth organization dedicated to the nurturing of Israeli teens as caring citizens guided by values of volunteering and mutual responsibility, as well as developing their social leadership skills. The youth organization operates nationwide and brings together 1,700 participants from all parts of Israeli society Awareness and Advocacy – Latet is not only focused on reducing poverty through humanitarian aid, but also through policy change. We initiate actions to raise social awareness and lead towards a change in national priorities. These include advocacy work, promoting legislative changes, initiating public campaigns, and publishing our annual Alternative Poverty Report.
