About TAQWA

TAQWA is a Queensland-based not-for-profit supporting Palestinian refugees and vulnerable families with dignity and hope.

Our Mission & Story

TAQWA – The Queensland Charity and Welfare Association – is a community-driven not-for-profit organisation dedicated to supporting Palestinian refugee families and vulnerable communities in Queensland.

We were founded in response to urgent humanitarian needs, and today our work focuses on four key areas:

Settlement Support – housing, essentials, and community integration.
Education Assistance – helping children and young people access schools and resources.
Cultural & Community Events – fostering solidarity and preserving Palestinian heritage.
Emergency Aid & Advocacy – standing with Palestine and raising awareness.

Our mission is simple: to give families a safe start, dignity, and hope for the future.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, TAQWA has already:

Raised over $1 million for refugee settlement and support.
Assisted 20+ families (66 people) with housing, education, and healthcare.
Partnered with local organisations to deliver cultural events, Ramadan iftars, film screenings, and advocacy campaigns.

We believe in the power of community. Together, we can rebuild lives and strengthen hope for families in need.
