Brit Olam - International Volunteering and Development

Brit Olam - International Volunteering and Development is an Israeli public association established in 2005. Our activities include developing and executing community-based development programs to reduce poverty and vulnerability in developing countries, as well as providing relief and rehabilitation projects in states of humanitarian crises. Brit Olam leadership is composed of practitioners and academics in the fields of development and civil society as well as concerned citizens from the Israeli business and diplomatic sectors. Members and activists come from diverse fields, including education, law, medicine, psychiatry, social work, clinical psychology, business, community development and international development. Most of its activities are carried out on a voluntary basis. Drawing on Israeli expertise in the fields of community development, health, arts and education, agriculture and others, Brit Olam develops programs for disadvantaged communities around the world, providing them with relevant knowledge and skills so they can create a better future for themselves. With the help and knowledge of professional and non-professional volunteers, Brit Olam helps disadvantaged communities to develop and become sustainable and independent from external international or local aid and enjoy a better well-being.
