Latet was established in order to reduce poverty, for a better and just society, by providing assistance to needy populations, mobilizing civil society towards mutual responsibility, and leading change in the national priorities.\nIn 1996, Gilles Darmon, a new immigrant freshly arrived from France, witnessed the growing poverty phenomena in Israel and sought ways to make a positive change. Driven by an ideal of justice and the belief that Israeli society should be at the heart of this change, he established Latet ("To Give" in Hebrew), inspired by existing humanitarian models. What started as the ambitious dream of a young idealist is today the largest Israeli non-profit organization combating poverty, thanks to hundreds of thousands of individuals who have joined forces for the past 20 years.

Oxfam is a global movement of people who share the belief that, in a world rich in resources, poverty isn't inevitable. It's an injustice which can, and must, be overcome. We're dedicated to building a just and safer world focusing on people's rights. We're passionate about ending poverty and helping to rebuild the lives affected by it. It's an enormous undertaking but we also have people on our side - talented and committed partners, volunteers, supporters and staff who share the same values. We aim to save lives by responding quickly with aid and protection during emergencies, empower people to work their own way out of poverty and campaign for lasting change. We have been saving and changing lives for seventy years now and know that tackling poverty is only possible when we are helping people to secure their fundamental human rights - the right to life and security, the right to a sustainable livelihood, the right to essential services, the right to be heard and the right to equity (in particular, the rights of women). We work at all levels - global and local, with international governments and global institutions, local communities and individuals - to make sure that these rights are protected and that the best solutions to people's suffering are implemented. Our values as an organisation are founded upon our experiences. We know that poverty can only be overcome once the fundamental human rights of impoverished others are secured and our three main values as an organisation - empowerment, accountability, inclusiveness - reflect this. Empowerment - our approach means that everyone involved with Oxfam, from our staff and supporters to people living in poverty, should feel they can make change happen. Accountability - our purpose driven, results-focused approach means we take responsibility for our actions and hold ourselves accountable; we believe that others should also be held accountable for their actions. Inclusiveness - we are open to everyone and embrace diversity; we believe everyone has a contribution to make, regardless of visible and invisible differences.
