survivors in need cannot afford. The emergency fund helps them resolve issues quickly and allows the survivors to regain their independence. Home restorations: some survivors live in run-down apartments that often lack accessibility. This project has been implemented since 2014 to ensure survivors’ homes are safe and secure. The restorations are managed by Latet staff and led by a professional contractor, at no cost to the survivors. Within 4 years, the project has renovated 1,550 apartments, improving the survivors' quality of life and personal security. Latet Youth organization Latet Youth is an organization recognized by the Israeli Ministry of Education that is dedicated to the nurturing of Israeli teens as caring citizens guided by values of volunteering and mutual responsibility. The teenagers spend time visiting and volunteering in different places (schools, community centers, retirement homes, etc.). During the last year of the three-year program, the youth implement social micro-initiatives within their own communities, developing their entrepreneurial and leadership skills. The youth organization operates nationwide and brings together 2,500 participants from all backgrounds. 40% of the participants are defined as "at-risk youth" and 70% come from a disadvantaged socioeconomic background. Every year, Latet Youth's members carry out 150 social micro-initiatives. Some of these initiatives have received national media coverage, like the "Thank You Day" and the "Gift Room at the Soroka Medical Center". Advocacy and Awareness The project's aim is to bring about change in Israel's national priorities and to raise social awareness about poverty and food insecurity. Year long, Latet is committed to carrying out various activities in order to fulfill this goal: Alternative Poverty Report: this is an annual report which sheds light on the most up-to-date trends in poverty and nutritional insecurity in Israel. The report is published by Latet in collaboration with the ERI research institute. This report is a multidimensional analysis of what poverty means and presents alternative numbers in contrast to the narrower definition of poverty by the National Insurance Institute of Israel. Poverty conference: this annual conference is one of the most prominent events related to poverty and social gaps, while discussing solutions for reducing poverty. The conference molds the public discourse and gathers associations' directors, academics, economists, politicians, private companies' directors, artists, etc. Public fundraising campaigns: twice a year, around the holidays (Rosh Hashanah and Passover), Latet runs extensive fundraising and awareness campaigns. As part of these activities, the organization organizes food drives
