Taawon Launches “Roots & Threads” to Empower Youth in Northern West Bank

Under the patronage of the Ministry of Social Development, and in partnership with Tamer Institute for Community Education and with generous support from GOAL Global, Taawon has officially launched Empowering the Future: Roots & Threads, a youth-focused initiative designed to support youth in Jenin and Tulkarem who are facing immense psychological and social pressure due to the ongoing instability and repeated incursions in the region.

As part of its long-standing efforts to preserve Palestinian cultural identity, Taawon, through its Old Cities Revitalization Program, has launched a specialized training course in heritage conservation and site management. Held in partnership with Al-Quds University and generously supported by the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development, the course runs from July 6 through the end of August 2025 and is integrated into the university’s accredited summer curriculum.

As part of its continued efforts to strengthen healthcare in Palestine, Taawon delivered a shipment of essential medicines and supplies worth $10,000 to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society – Anabta branch on Wednesday, July 2, 2025. The delivery comes as part of the “We Remain Resilient Together” initiative and reflects a longstanding partnership between the two institutions.

This intervention supports the continuity of medical services in the Tulkarem governorate and helps local health facilities respond to growing needs in the face of ongoing challenges.

Taawon has launched a new accessibility feature on its official website, aimed at empowering individuals from the deaf community to navigate the site and engage with its content more easily.
This step reflects Taawon's ongoing commitment to ensuring everyone’s right to access information—including persons with hearing disabilities—by making its website an open and inclusive space where users can explore the organization’s programs, projects, and activities without barriers.

This funding provides essential services, including food, clothing, healthcare, psychosocial support, and education, to 900 children who have lost their families due to the ongoing crisis.

More than half a million children and mothers in Gaza are facing a deepening developmental emergency.
 
Amid war, displacement, and the collapse of health, education, nutrition, and protection systems, children under the age of five are at grave risk. Their bodies, minds, and futures are in jeopardy.
 
As part of its unwavering commitment to safeguarding Palestinian children, Taawon joined Theirworld and a group of international partners in contributing to the global report:
