Yad Sarah, the leading volunteer-staffed NGO in Israel, provides a vital array of humanitarian, social and health care services to all populations in the country through its 127 branches and network of over 7,000 dedicated volunteers.

The organization’s dozens of health, community, medical and paramedical services reach nearly every family in Israel, enabling any individual to rehabilitate and meet their needs with dignity and compassion. 

The volunteers – drivers, technicians, caregivers, lawyers, teachers, and others – work through wars and pandemics to provide the best service possible in any and every situation.

All volunteer-led services are universally available and free or nominally-priced. Among its many services, Yad Sarah each year extends more than 380,000 medical equipment loans, fields 165,000 crisis calls via its Emergency Medical Hotline, provides over 23,000 rides through its wheelchair-accessible van fleet, installs upward of 23,000 home hospital units, treats 12,500 at the Frenkel Emergency Medical Center, and provides pro-bono legal advice and in-home dental care for thousands of senior individuals. 

Yad Sarah saves Israel's healthcare system over NIS 5.5 billion ($1.5 billion) each year through its medical equipment lending services.
