American Near East Refugee Aid (Anera)

Organizational snapshot

Since 1968, Anera has helped refugees and others hurt by conflicts in the Middle East live with dignity and purpose. Anera mobilizes resources for immediate emergency relief and for sustainable, long-term health, education, and economic development. Their staff serve in their communities, navigating the politics that constrict progress to get where it's needed most.

Anera, which has no political or religious affiliation, works on the ground with partners in Palestine (West Bank and Gaza), Lebanon and Jordan. It mobilizes resources for immediate emergency relief and for sustainable, long-term health, education, and economic development. That’s how Anera delivered 98.3 million in programs in 2020 alone, and it’s how it will keep building better lives until hope finds its way in the Middle East.
