Palestine Peace Awareness Inc. is a registered non-profit organization. Proceeds are used to directly benefit Palestinian farmers and children living in occupied Palestine and to create awareness for peace in Palestine. The name "Zatoun" could not be registered because the legal name of a non-profit must reflect its purpose.  However, Zatoun continues as our trade name because it speaks to people through its Arabic character and direct translation to the word "olive".

A basic food such as olive oil reminds us of our humanity and from there an opening to understanding and recognition of our commonality. The olive is the universal symbol of peace, forgiveness and understanding. The focus on something as basic and unthreatening as olives opens a door for North Americans to experience another people’s humble but precarious life.

United Presbyterian Church proudly supports this mission through the sale of Zatoun Fair Trade Products.  The products we sell include: Olive Oil, Za’atar (a spice mixture), and Olive Oil Soap. (sets and individual bars)
