The Spirit Behind Sawaed19
Sawaed19 is a Palestinian social-tech startup reimagining how volunteering is organized and valued.
Founded in 2021 in Nablus- Palestine, and rooted in grassroots volunteering since 2019, we connect volunteers, nonprofits, and institutions in one digital platform that empowers civic action and celebrates volunteer values.
We’re not just building tools, we’re building a culture of engaged citizenship and digital empowerment.
Born in Palestine. Built for changemakers.
