The Salfit Women Charity was established in 1965 as the first women's society aimed at empowering women, establishing a kindergarten in Salfit, and fighting illiteracy among women. The Charity supported many community and charitable activities, the most important of which was the supervision of a centre for people with special needs in Salfit. The idea of establishing the Charity was the brainchild of the educator Amin Awwad and his wife, Rahma Awwad.

 The Salfit Women Charity Collection includes several documents about the history of the establishment of the Charity, its various activities, and its relationship to charitable action in the West Bank. These documents include minutes of the meetings of the Administrative Body of the Salfit Women Charity, outgoing and incoming correspondences of the Charity regarding its work from 1970 to 1999, documents on the first, second and third Palestinian conferences related to charitable action in Palestine, in addition to a set of postcards.
