Read MoreCity Without Hunger
An innovative, ground breaking social initiative, proposing an effective and sustainable model to solve the problem of nutritional insecurity in Israel. The initiative acts to implement a municipal model that can be replicated throughout the country.
Need
The extent of poverty, its severity and depth, has consistently grown within the past decade. In turn, the phenomenon of nutritional insecurity has spread throughout the country and in all sectors.
The reason stems from the following factors:
The extent of poverty, its severity and depth, has consistently grown within the past decade. In turn, the phenomenon of nutritional insecurity has spread throughout the country and in all sectors.
The reason stems from the following factors:
- Lack of response from the public system
- Partial response from society and the private sector
- Lack of funding sources
The response given today to the population suffering from nutritional insecurity is partial at best and depends on the limited resources of nonprofit organizations. At the municipal level, there is no cohesive body responsible for monitoring the problem, pooling resources or coordinating the required response.
The “City Without Hunger” project was established to make a significant change and to bring sustainable solution to the forefront.
Target population
We target families, single-parent families, individuals and elderly who live in the lowest societal position and suffer from nutritional insecurity.
Model and structure
The initiative’s plan of action is based on a bottom-up approach. We understand that a process that is built for a distinct population in a defined geographic area, uses a multidimensional tool box, motivates the residents, re-organizes and adds required resources can make a significant change. It can bring about a solution that can be implemented and replicated (with necessary adaptations) nationwide.
The principals on which the project is founded are:

The principals on which the project is founded are:
- Full cooperation – Between Latet, the local municipality, and other relevant agents active in the location
- Population mapping – Mapping and dividing the population into secondary groups and formulating the necessary responses
- Multidimensional tool box – GIving a variety of responses to meet different needs
- Creating a commitment to the process by the recipients – Participation in the processes to reduce their dependency on aid
- Leveraging, pooling and re-organization of existing community resources
- Involvement of residents and community empowerment – Recruiting and mobilizing the residents as agents of change in their city
The project will provide a full response to the problem of nutritional insecurity in the city in a number of channels:
- Core food services
- Applying rights and budget management
- Tools for escaping nutritional insecurity
Highlights
Food collection campaigns for the holidays – in schools, kindergartens, community centers, market chains and on the streets of the city
