PROGRAMS
The Initiative
for Nutrition Security
Latet developed and implemented an effective model to increase social return on investment and to provide an effective response to the acute problem of nutritional security in Israel, by establishing and maintaining partnerships with Israel’s leading food companies and salvaging food that would otherwise go to waste and by motivating the public to participate in the joint efforts.
Latet Youth
An educational program that empowers at-risk teens who come from low socioeconomic backgrounds and minority groups educate for volunteerism and empower them with social leadership skills through participation in social initiatives while instilling humanitarian values and a mandate to serve their local communities. Through this activity the youth receive a better opportunity to break out of the cycle of poverty and to become an active and productive member of society.
City without Hunger is an innovative, 'game changing', urban-based program for social change that offers an effective and sustainable model for combating food insecurity in a defined geographic area. The program mobilizes an entire city, while leveraging and utilizing local resources to the fullest degree possible.
