Marwa Hammad, is the Fundraising Coordinator for the Palestinian peace organisation Women of the Sun.

In this role, Marwa responsibilities include developing fundraising programs, recruiting sponsors and volunteers, encouraging support through promotional activities as well as developing and maintaining professional relationships.

Marwa has a BA in business administration and marketing from Bethlehem University and was previously employed by Alrowwad Cultural Center and by UNRWA. Marwa specializes in marketing, as well as writing and evaluating grants and loan applications.

She is a big believer in women and peace and is convinced that women do groundbreaking work for justice, peace, and security. Yet, they continue to be sidelined in formal peace processes. As conflict continues to affect every region of Palestine, urgent action is needed to ensure that women are part of peacebuilding, and their contributions are visible and valued.
