This week, host Eve Young, economics correspondent for The Jerusalem Post, interviews Irad Renan, Co-Founder & CEO of Weme - a non-profit platform for volunteers.
Irad and his co-founder created Weme in the wake of the October 7 attack on Israel and the Israel-Hamas war, after seeing how much help was needed, and how much Israelis wanted to give to and support each other.
Weme is helping to overcome frictions in the volunteering market by helping connect those in need to those who can offer help - and users can both ask for and offer help, according to their needs.
