Who is Tawazon

TAWAZON Initiative for Development (TID) is a non-profit civil organization that aims at supporting individuals, communities and the environment all over Lebanon, based on needs assessments, far from any political engagement and regardless of religion, race or nationality.

How it All Started

Over the years, seeing the disturbing state that our society has reached, we have embarked on several sociocultural, educational and environmental projects. With the recent economic meltdown and down-spiraling situation of the society, it became apparent that for better effectiveness, our efforts need to be organized and more regulated hence the idea of creating an NGO came to be. The experience gained and the previous projects completed became the nucleus around which TAWAZON was built.

The ultimate goal of TAWAZON is to lend a helping hand to disadvantaged members of the society, instill the sense of responsibility and the culture of cost-share with all those we partner with and the beneficiaries. We believe this form of engagement will restore the civilized face of our nation through the various initiatives and activities that empower the individual, strengthen the society and safeguard the environment.
