Taawon (Welfare Association) is a non-profit, civic organization launched in Geneva in the year 1983, upon the initiative of a group of Palestinian business leaders and intellectuals. Taawon has become one of the largest organizations operating in Palestine and the diaspora camps in Lebanon, whereby it touches the lives of more than one million Palestinians on an annual basis, with half of these beneficiaries being women.
Rooted in the Land: Taawon Supports Raba Farmers with Automatic Olive Harvesters
In response to the growing challenges facing Palestinian farmers, Taawon provided the Raba Village Council in the Jenin governorate with a set of automatic olive harvesters to support local farmers during the olive harvest season.
The initiative was implemented in coordination with the Directorate of Agriculture in South Jenin, which identified priority needs to ensure that support reaches the most affected farmers, particularly those in Area C where access to land is often limited by Israeli restrictions and settler intimidation.
