Bag to School 2024

Providing thousands of impoverished and displaced children a backpack filled with essential school supplies and nutritious food

"Creating equal opportunities in education is crucial for preventing intergenerational poverty. Children from low-income families who lack necessary support cannot fully realize their talents and potential. This often leads to higher dropout rates, lower chances of pursuing higher education, and a greater risk of continuing the cycle of poverty into adulthood. Ensuring that these children have the essential school supplies they need is fundamental
to fostering equal opportunities."

Eran Weintrob, CEO of Latet organization

 
As the new school year approaches, tens of thousands of impoverished and displaced families in Israel face overwhelming challenges. The ongoing conflict has exacerbated an already difficult economic situation, leaving many families unable to provide their children with essential school supplies. Over 100,000 families in Israel remain displaced, forcing many children to start school in unfamiliar locations away from their homes. These disruptions not only widen educational gaps but also hinder affected children from reaching their full learning potential.

Last November, Latet, the largest nonprofit combating poverty in Israel, distributed 15,000 school kits to displaced children who had to start anew after urgently fleeing their homes with just a few personal belongings. Now, the need is even greater. At Latet, we are committed to doing everything we can to meet this growing demand, but we need your help to succeed.

According to Latet's Alternative Poverty Report 2023, 73% of parents receiving aid from Latet report that they could not afford basic school supplies for their children. As we prepare for the upcoming new year, we are expanding our assistance to include even more children from displaced and impoverished families and wish to provide them with a comprehensive school kit and nutritious food. These essential items will help ensure these children have a positive start to their school year, despite the upheavals they have faced.

Donate a school kit to children from impoverished and displaced families. Each school kit includes a backpack, pencil case, notebooks, writing utensils and a food box.
