The Welfare Association (WA) is a private, non-profit foundation established in 1983 in Geneva, Switzerland, by a group of Palestinian and Arab business and intellectual figures, with a sublime mission driven by the urge to provide humanitarian assistance and development work for Palestinians.

As a leading non-governmental Palestinian development organization, the welfare Association is dedicated to making a distinguished contribution toward furthering the progress of the Palestinians, preserving their heritage and identity, supporting their living culture and building civil society. It aims to achieve these goals by methodically identifying their needs and priorities and establishing the soundest mechanism to maximize the benefits from the available funding resources.

WA supports small and large-scale projects in the West Bank, Gaza, the 1948 Areas, and in the Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon, benefiting especially children and youth, the poor, students, and individuals with special needs.

WA has supported more than 4,000 projects guided by quality demand driven and rights based programming. Valued at over $300 million, the projects have been implemented on the ground by hundreds of Palestinian NGOs in various development and emergency relief fields.
