The Palestinian American Women's Association was
founded in 1984 by a group of professional women in Southern California and
has 150 members. PAWA has a passion for community service and working
specifically with women and youth. All programs and workshops provided by
PAWA are lead by experts in the field and focus on topics such as, education,
child abuse, cancer support and more. Visit our Workshops & Projects
pages for more detail.
PAWA assists not only Arab communities in the United States but also families
in Palestine and Lebanon. We are proud of the help we’ve been able to provide
and would like to thank you all for supporting our efforts.
