The journey of the Welfare Association (WA), is one of continuous growth and evolution. From its initial establishment in 1983, WA’s founders agreed that they will embrace an integrated development approach focusing on impact and on enabling healthy individuals to reach their maximum potential, and building healthy communities.
Today, WA is Palestine’s largest non-profit organisation with over USD $660 million disbursed over the years. For as long as Palestine remains occupied, the mission of WA is to continue moving forward supported by a team of Palestine’s top talents; a team working to build generations of Palestinians capable of reaching their full potential, in spite of the daily struggles and tragedies they live.
The Welfare Association (WA) was registered with the Charity Commission of England and Wales in 1993 (Registered charity number No. 1020238), with its administrative Board and offices in London. Yet, still working directly with all the other offices of WA, in Ramallah, East Jerusalem, Gaza, Beirut and Amman, as one international WA team. Working with some of the most marginalised Palestinian families and communities in the West Bank and Gaza and in the refugee camps and gatherings of Lebanon. In the UK our international development and emergency relief projects are funded through the British Government, the British Council, UK charities and trusts, international foundations, the British public and international supporters and through fundraising events and appeals.
Together with local partners we work with the most vulnerable Palestinian communities and families in the West Bank and Gaza and in the refugee camps and gatherings in Lebanon to overcome poverty and improve services, in several ways:
1.
By developing proposals and programmes together with local stakeholders that meet real needs of local communities, e.g. in the health and education sectors
2.
By providing emergency aid and supporting essential services during times of crisis
3.
By developing the skills and capacity of local NGOs
4.
By supporting the rights of local communities and advocating with, and on behalf of local communities to achieve change
We empower communities through partnership, programme support and capacity building.
We are committed to improving the lives of the most vulnerable Palestinian communities.
We are fully accountable to our donors, our supporters and to the Palestinian communities we work with.
We always appreciate the help of volunteers in supporting the work of Welfare Association at events or in our office.
