In the face of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Taawon is proud to announce the continuation of its partnership with GOAL Global, building on the collaboration that began in December 2023. During the initial phase, GOAL Global supported the Gaza Emergency Project with €168,000, which contributed to the provision of over 5,000 fresh produce parcels to displaced families. As the humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate, this renewed partnership aims to expand these efforts and address the urgent healthcare needs of those most affected.

In a new step to enhance the resilience of rural Palestinian families, Taawon and the Agricultural Development Association (PARC) have launched the project, "Enhancing the Resilience of Palestinian Families Living in Rural Communities in the West Bank through Livelihood and Protection Interventions," funded by Danish Muslim Aid. This project is part of Taawon’s ongoing efforts to support sustainable development in Palestine, especially in rural areas facing economic and social challenges.

The third steering committee meeting for the "Water, Land, and Agricultural Roads Investment program” took place on September 24, 2024, at the headquarters of Taawon (Welfare Association) in Ramallah, marking the beginning of the program's third year.
