CFTA

THE CULTURE AND FREE THOUGHT ASSOCIATION (CFTA) is one of the largest and most active networks of human rights organization in the Gaza Strip. Founded in 1991 as an independent, non-governmental development organisation which also provides humanitarian assistance in emergency situations.  

For more than 30 years, CFTA has worked in the Gaza Strip's middle and southern areas to provide safe, supportive, interactive spaces and opportunities for members of our community in order to gain knowledge, enhance skills, exchange, experience new ideas and to connect members of the society together.

We are honoured to support their work.

The first PPP funded CFTA project

Over 200 children participated, including 10 with disabilities.

The highlight was a cultural and artistic celebration commemorating Palestinian Heritage Day - this brought together parents, children, schoolmates and members of the local community in a vibrant heritage-themed festival.

43 drawing & painting sessions

36 music & singing sessions

“Through the children’s artworks and their folkloric and musical performances, our children send a message to the world: we remain as long as thyme and olive trees remain—deeply rooted in our land, heritage, and identity.”
— Ms. Fawzia Huweihi, Chair of CFTA

All children have the right to play.
