PALESTINIAN AMERICAN WOMEN'S ASSOCIATION

Non-profit, community-based organization formed to uplift Palestinian American Women and support Palestinian communities through scholarships, community services, and cultural engagement since XXXX

PAWA Purpose and Mission

Empower Palestinian American Women: The organization creates spaces for connection, education, leadership, cultural preservation, and social support for Palestinian American women and their families.

Raise Funds for Scholarships: PAWA commonly hosts fundraising events (like galas and community hikes) to support scholarship programs that help students pursue higher education in the United States.

Support Palestinian Communities: Funds raised often go beyond scholarships to help with community outreach, cultural programs, and humanitarian relief for Palestinians in the diaspora as well as in the West Bank, Gaza, and refugee camps.

Scholarship Initiatives

One of the central pillars of PAWA’s work is raising and awarding scholarships to deserving students of Palestinian descent. These scholarships are typically funded through:

  • Annual fundraising events (e.g., scholarship galas)

  • Community sponsorship campaigns

  • Membership support and donations

These programs help students afford college and university costs in the U.S. and encourage leadership, academic excellence, and active community involvement.


Community Support and Cultural Preservation

In addition to scholarships, PAWA and similar Palestinian American women’s organizations aim to:

  • Celebrate Palestinian culture and heritage

  • Create supportive networks for Palestinian American families

  • Educate broader communities about Palestinian history and identity

  • Connect local community members with social services and cultural resources



Impact Beyond the USA

While many PAWA chapters focus on the Palestinian American community and educational support, they also contribute to humanitarian needs back in Palestine such as:

  • Providing aid to families and children in need

  • Supporting community development projects

  • Collaborating with other nonprofit organizations to deliver educational and welfare programs abroad
