Culture of Free Thought Association

Overview

The Culture and Free Thought Association (CFTA) was established in 1991 as an independent, secular non-governmental development organization which, in emergency situations, also provides humanitarian assistance. CFTA has worked in the middle and southern areas of the Gaza Strip to provide safe, supportive, interactive spaces and opportunities for members of our community to explore and experiment; to build knowledge and skills; to exchange ideas, experiences and expertise; and to connect and create with others.

CFTA works through five community centers to provide cultural, educational, health and well-being services designed to support the healthy development of individuals and communities. With two children’s centers, Al Shruq Wal Amal Center in Khan Younis Refugee Camp and Al Nowwar Educational Center in Baten Essamien neighborhood of Khan Younis, CFTA remains the only major Palestinian NGO in the southern Gaza Strip working directly with children between the ages of 6 to 12.
