“Tawasal“ was first launched as an independent initiative in Lebanon during April 2012 targeting youth & women in less-fortunate & refugee areas. It was officially licensed in Lebanon mid- July 2014 under the name “TAWASAL Society” to serve as a non-governmental-non-profit, non-sectarian organization.

By December 2012, and parallel to its projects in Lebanon, TAWASAL launched its first projects in Jordan implementing its activities as an initiative, targeting similar communities at three governorates: Baqa’a (center), Jerash and, Irbid (north of Jordan). Implemented projects (2012-2015) continued to reach out to other lessfortunate communities in Jordan mainly: Eastern, Western and Southern parts of the Kingdom. TAWASAL received official licensing as a Jordanian NGO in October 2015 carrying the name “TAWASAL Cultural Society” with its Jordanian elected Board of Directors, consultants, coordinators and members.

In January 2013, TAWASAL initiated two projects in Palestine, implementing its activities as an initiative in four cities: Nablus, Ramallah Al- Bireh and Al –Khalil (Hebron). During 2014-2015 TAWASAL’s projects were implemented in all West Bank governorates (PNA) and the Gaza Strip networking with universities, cultural and academic institutes, civic institutions, academics and educators. Since January 2013, Tawasal continues to implement all of its youth, children and women-targeted projects as TAWASAL Initiative in Palestine mainly: The Palestine National Authorities Areas and, Gaza Strip.

TAWASAL applied for licensing in France and was officially licensed as an NGO early January 2014 under the name “TAWASAL,” in order to bridge the international gap, encourage educational, scientific, health and cultural advancement & exchange of expertise with the international community.
