Story of the month
I never imagined I would hold a university degree. Taawon’s scholarship didn’t just educate me — it gave my whole family hope.

Lina, 23, graduated top of her engineering class in Gaza through the ISNAD scholarship programme. Today she mentors younger students preparing for university — proof that one opportunity can change generations.

Who we are

A Palestinian story of perseverance, written by Palestinians.

Founded in Geneva in 1983 by a group of Palestinian business leaders and intellectuals, Taawon was created to invest in the development of Palestinian society — wherever it lives.

Today, we are one of the largest Palestinian non-profits in the world, working across the West Bank, Jerusalem, Gaza, the 1948 territories, and the diaspora camps in Lebanon.
