Rebuilding Lives After War

Together, We Rebuild.

Across Israel, lives have been shattered by war – homes destroyed, families displaced, reservists returning with invisible wounds, and vulnerable people struggling to meet even their most basic needs.

Among them is Valerie, 22, from Bat Yam, whose home was hit by a missile in the middle of the night. She and her parents lost everything.
Adela, 83, a Holocaust survivor from Ashdod, reflects how the war reminded her of parts of her past she hoped to forget.
And Adi, 36, a reservist and father, is learning to rebuild his routine, while struggling with the effects of post-trauma.

Your gift today will help provide food, care, and safety to people like Valerie, Adela, and Adi, transforming destruction into hope, and loss into new beginnings.

We invite you to watch their stories and see the human side of recovery.

Why Your Support Matters

• 1 in 4 Israelis and 1 in 3 children now live in poverty — a reality deepened by years of conflict and instability.

• Thousands of families are still struggling to rebuild their homes and livelihoods, long after the headlines have faded.

• For Holocaust survivors and elderly Israelis, the isolation and financial hardship are often unbearable.

That’s why Latet’s work continues long after the emergency ends — to help people not just survive, but live again.

Latet was established in order to assist populations in need, mobilize civil society toward mutual responsibility, and lead a change in national priorities.

We are the leading umbrella organization and food bank in Israel, partnering with 210 local NGOs and organizations across Israel. Each year, we mobilize 38,000 volunteers and provide ongoing assistance to 100,000 families and 1,700 Holocaust survivors.

Giving for three decades and counting

Latet (‘To give’ in Hebrew) is to wake up in the morning with the purpose of making a difference and creating social impact. It means providing immediate, daily help to vulnerable populations, both in routine and in times of emergency, while simultaneously working to create a better future. It’s the Latet spirit that defines us; the drive to face every challenge and move forward with determination and a deep sense of mission.

Since founding Latet in 1996 as Israel’s first humanitarian aid organization of its kind, we’ve led the fight against poverty in Israel through solidarity and a belief in mutual responsibility and giving within civil society. We’ve laid the foundation for innovative, impactful humanitarian action and fostered a culture of volunteerism as a way of life.
Over the years, Latet has become a leading organization driven by excellence, research, and learning. Thanks to our dedicated team, thousands of volunteers, and hundreds of partners, we create meaningful change – from the lives of those in need to national policy – on the path to a more just and better society.
