The Ghassan Kanafani Cultural Foundation was established on 8 July 1974 as a non-governmental Lebanese NGO, on the second anniversary of the martyrdom of Ghassan Kanafani, writer, journalist, artist and political activist for the rights of the Palestinian people.

The Foundation receives 625 children from kindergartens and rehabilitation centers for the handicapped, as well as a follow-up program for children with disabilities, children's libraries, clubs and art centers for about 500 children.
