IsraAID
About Company
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to support people affected by humanitarian crisis. We partner with local communities around the world to provide urgent aid, assist in recovery, and reduce the risk of future disasters.
OUR HISTORY
Founded in 2001 as a coalition of Israeli organizations working in disaster relief and international development, IsraAID has grown into an independent NGO and the largest humanitarian aid organization in Israel.
From earthquakes and hurricanes to epidemics and forced displacement, IsraAID has been at the forefront of responding to major humanitarian crises worldwide. We have worked in more than 50 countries and at any one time have around 300 staff members worldwide.
OUR APPROACH
We collaborate with communities at the deepest level in an approach we call ‘Communities First’. The communities we work with supply local knowledge, experience, people-power, and tools. We deliver technologies, resources, and long-developed professional expertise (oftentimes from Israel, which has a lot of experience with trauma, water scarcity, and disaster relief and preparedness.)
Whhat we do.
OUR EXPERTISE IS GROUNDED IN EXPERIENCE.
When strong people the world over have their resilience tested by disasters and crises, IsraAID mobilizes and responds quickly. We collaborate with communities at the deepest level, regardless of politics, religion, and ethnicity, working together for as long as it takes. Since 2001, IsraAID has worked in emergency and long-term development settings in 60 countries.
