The Association’s areas of intervention and activity within Palestinian society focus on relief and support for the most vulnerable Palestinian families, development, and empowerment of various Palestinian groups with a focus on women and children, developmental education and vocational training, and the preservation of Palestinian identity and cultural heritage.
