Bag to School: Give a child the tools to succeed - Sponsored Content

As the school year draws nearer, Latet, a leading humanitarian aid organization in Israel, intensifies its efforts to provide impoverished children with essential school supplies, nutritious meals, and the confidence to succeed. This year, 2,000 of the 5,000 backpacks will be distributed to children in northern Israel, affected by the ongoing security situation.

Every child should begin the school year with the necessary tools to learn, grow, and feel like they belong, Latet emphasizes. To achieve this, donations of a new backpack, school supplies, and food are encouraged. According to Latet's 2025 Alternative Poverty Report, without these basics, the school year can become a struggle for both children and their parents.

Education is a powerful means of breaking the cycle of poverty and creating opportunities for a brighter future, Latet asserts. Your contribution will equip a child with a rejuvenated backpack, quality school supplies, and nutritious sustenance, enabling them to commence the school year with confidence and reach their true potential.

Latet, founded in 1996, is Israel's foremost umbrella organization and food bank, collaborating with 210 local NGOs and organizations nationwide. The organization mobilizes 38,000 volunteers and supports 100,000 families and 1,600 Holocaust survivors annually. Latet's mission is to assist those in need, foster civil society cooperation, and inspire a transformation in national priorities.

This spirit of giving is embodied in Latet's name, a Hebrew term for 'to give,' which signifies the organization's commitment to making a daily difference and fostering social impact.
