The Welfare Association (WA) is a leading Palestinian private, non-profit foundation established in Geneva in 1983 to support the sustainable development of Palestinian society. It has become better known in Palestine and the Arab region by its Arabic name, Ta'awoun, meaning “cooperation”. WA works by strengthening local organizations, and assisting them in improving their services to the community and in promoting Palestinian culture, heritage and identity. WA is dedicated to making a distinguished contribution toward furthering the progress of the Palestinians, preserving their heritage and identity, supporting their living culture and building civil society. The association aims to achieve these goals by identifying the Palestinian needs and priorities and establishing sound mechanisms to maximize benefits from the available funding resources. WA beneficiaries are more than 4 million Palestinians who are served by Palestinian non-governmental organizations, community institutions and charitable organizations in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Galilee, Jaffa, Akka, Nazareth and Naqab, as well as in refugee camps in Lebanon.
