Launched in 1985, the Islamic Welfare Association (ISWA) is a non-governmental organization that works in Lebanon to fight poverty, social injustice, and the impacts of natural disasters. With 6 subsidiaries, ISWA is committed to helping vulnerable populations, especially orphans’ families, female-headed households, internally displaced persons, refugees, people with disabilities and unprivileged families. Throughout the years, ISWA has extended the scope of its effort and cooperated with the civil society, concerned with relief, care and sustainable developmental activities. At ISWA, we balance our work between emergency relief and long-term development based on changing needs of each community. Our vision is a world where everyone is free from economic and social inequality and suffering. Our mission is to bring hope and support to vulnerable children and their disadvantaged communities, empowering them for a brighter future. ISWA strives to address the root causes of poverty by providing education, food security, healthy living and housing, contributing to solutions that ensure all communities enjoy justice and well-being.
