Taawon (Welfare Association) is a non-profit, civic organization launched in Geneva in 1983 by a group of Palestinian business leaders and intellectuals. Taawon today is one of the largest developmental organizations in Palestine and the diaspora camps in Lebanon.
Taawon aims to empower Palestinian individuals and civil society institutions both socially and economically, in addition to strengthening their identity, the values of freedom and democracy as well as all human values.
Taawon maintains a presence in Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Switzerland, and in Great Britain through its sister organization; interventions are implemented to reinforce the steadfastness of Palestinian citizens in Palestine and the refugee camps in Lebanon.
As a leading non-governmental Palestinian development organization, Taawon strives to make a distinguished contribution toward furthering the progress of Palestinians, preserving their heritage and identity, supporting their living culture and building civil society. It aims to achieve these goals by methodically identifying the Palestinian people’s needs and priorities and establishing the soundest mechanisms to maximize the benefits from the available funding resources.
