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.

Taawon launches the 'Our Roots' (Jothorona) campaign to raise awareness about the importance of preserving historical landmarks through cultural activities at over 15 heritage sites. This initiative is implemented in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, other relevant ministries, local civil society organizations, local authorities, and the private sector, with support from UNDP/PAPP through the TARABOT Palestine Programme.
'Our Roots'... a step towards uniting local and international efforts to protect Palestinian heritage.
Supporting the steadfastness of our people in Gaza, the first batch of operational aid has been delivered to Gaza Municipality.

This initiative is being carried out in partnership with the Palestinian Environmental Friends (PEF).
Despite the tough conditions in Gaza, support continues to reach those in need.
