Taawon Signs Two Agreements with the Canadian Palestinian Professional Foundation to Support Education and Healthcare in Gaza and Lebanon

Taawon has signed two agreements with the Canadian Palestinian Professional Foundation (CPPF). The first establishes a strategic framework for joint planning, coordination, fundraising, and the implementation of initiatives supporting Palestinian students in Palestine and Lebanon. This partnership lays the groundwork for broader, long-term collaboration in the education sector.

Our Leadership

Based on its pursuit of continuous development and growth and in line with its three-year plan-based approach, Taawon developed its strategic plan 2020-2022. The plan serves to continue to consolidate the foundations it was built on, supported by its administrative, financial and program elements, capitalizing on accumulated achievements to make quantum leaps in performance through the adoption of new strategic trends with smart solutions at the institutional governance level that can show actual programs’ impact.

Artist Mrs. Saeda Elbitar Ghanem Supports Gaza’s Orphans Through “Noor”

In a powerful blend of art and compassion, visual artist Mrs. Saeda Elbitar Ghanem has donated a portion of the proceeds from her latest exhibition to support orphaned children in Gaza through Taawon’s Noor initiative.
 
The exhibition, held two months ago at the Diwan of the Abdul Hadi family and under the patronage of HRH Princess Wijdan Al-Hashemi, marked the culmination of four years of dedicated creative work. Elbitar Ghanem’s collection portrayed the human experience with deep emotion and imagination.
