report from the president and chair
With every new challenge, we think of our staff as heroes. Yes, they
are ordinary people, but they perform in extraordinary ways under
extraordinary circumstances.
Despite all our success with the efficient delivery of more programs
supported by more gifts and added partners, we are pummeled
repeatedly by increased violence and other obstacles in the
Middle East.
Our staff often have to drive through bullet-ridden Tripoli in northern
Lebanon to reach Nahr El Bared camp, destroyed in fighting in
2007. They pass through army checkpoints to the remains of what
was a major refugee town. But once there, they work hand in hand
with residents young and old to grow vegetables on rooftops and
in alleyways once cluttered by trash and discarded bottles. Urban
agriculture is transforming a small corner of Lebanon.
In the center of Beirut, where new Palestinian refugees from Syria are
crowding into unused garages, ANERA health workers battle with the
sheer magnitude of the disaster. Still, they deliver record numbers
of new shoes to children, hygiene kits and baby supplies to mothers,
blankets to families and medicine to clinics.
As the tunnels are destroyed and the Rafah crossing to Egypt remains
closed, an ANERA pharmacist in Gaza and his warehouse staff find
ways to deliver medicines for clinics despite gasoline shortages.
In the West Bank, our agronomist is constantly looking over his
shoulder while walking in his olive grove, afraid of attacks from
settlers. Yet, he has just designed a very innovative system for
reusing waste water to irrigate Palestinian farms.
We commend our 85 staff who have remained steadfast in the face
of huge odds. They have delivered programs that have had lasting
impact and touched people’s lives.
Their reward is seeing their works’ achievements and the continued
respect of the communities they serve.

Economic
Development
• Completed a total of 135 projects in the sectors of health, community
development and education from 2008 to 2013. The $64.8 million,
USAID-funded Emergency Water and Sanitation II program:
−− Improved conditions for 1,400,000 residents in the West Bank
and Gaza.
−− Created 250,000 days of employment in areas where jobs are
most scarce.
−− Enabled more than 360,000 people to regularly access water.
−− Laid 275,000 linear meters of water pipes.
−− Renovated and/or constructed 30 schools and 330+ classrooms.
−− Gave nearly 300,000 people access to better sanitation
facilities.
−− Renovated and improved 27 hospitals and clinics.
−− Rehabilitated four agricultural roads.
• Opened three new parks in the West Bank. Known as Al Bayyara, or
citrus grove in Arabic, these parks turned vacant, rubble-filled plots
of land into beautifully landscaped safe havens for families to gather
and children to play without fear. They also provide much-needed
construction and maintenance jobs in a fragile economy.
• Provided 50 Gaza families with a greenhouse, an irrigation system,
a water tank, compost, seedlings, and training in farming. They can
now better feed themselves and earn much needed income.
• Connected West Bank farmers in-person and through the use of
social media and video to share their best practices in agriculture.
With funding from USAID, ANERA built a new clinic in the West Bank
town of Tubas, creating jobs and providing vital health services like
x-rays, pregnancy care, dentistry and laboratories for 13,000 residents.

park in Ramallah, West Bank.
With USAID funds, ANERA built
this new reservoir in
An-Nu’imeh, a village near Jericho,
replacing an open tank that was
vulnerable to many health and
environmental hazards.

Health and Relief

• Delivered 50 shipments of donated
shoes, medicines and other health
care supplies, valued at $45 million,
to Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon
and Jordan.
• Continued our exciting partnership
with TOMS Shoes, delivering
thousands of new shoes to children
in Gaza and Lebanon.
• In response to the huge influx of
Palestinian refugees from Syria
into Lebanon’s camps, distributed
25,000 quilts, 1,200 baby blankets,
28,000 hygiene kits, 12,000 school
kits, 2,800 baby care kits and 4,000
vouchers for clothes and food.
• Trained dozens of women in the
Burj El Burajneh camp in Beirut to
be trainers in the responsible use
of medicines.

refugees from Syria in camps across Lebanon.
Education
• Continued delivering and expanding our early childhood
development programming in the West Bank and Gaza, funded by
USAID via Mercy Corps, and first-time grants from Dubai Cares and
the OPEC Fund for International Development:
−− Provided positive parenting classes for 6,500 caregivers in Gaza.
−− Gifted bookbags filled with fun reading materials to 6,900 Gaza
preschoolers and created special reading corners in 45 schools.
−− Trained 125 Gaza teachers, principals and community workers
on fundamentals of early childhood development, reading
strategies for children, and positive parenting for caregivers.
−− Began renovating and equipping 16 preschools in Jerusalem,
Hebron and Gaza.
−− Trained and mentored 75 West Bank teachers and principals for
an in-service certificate in early childhood development.
• Extended the Enhancing Non-Formal Education program for two
more years in Lebanon’s Nahr El Bared and Beddawi refugee camps.
The $800,000 program continued building the capacity of vocational
training and remedial education providers and used sports
activities to promote personal development and healthy lifestyles
among youth.
• Provided scholarships for 21 Palestinian youth from several
different refugee camps in Lebanon to gain marketable job skills
at the Abdel Hadi el Debs Institute and the Al Kafaàt Foundation.

Monthly Donors
testimonials
“I know my $20 per month has helped enhance
education, health and economic development
for vulnerable people throughout the Middle
East region. When I receive the newsletter and
read about the projects, it reminds me that
every month my contribution is supporting
innovative programs for Palestinian families.”
Yasmeen Shousher Moore
Monthly donor since 2008
“I have been a long-time supporter of ANERA
and I recently decided to give monthly. It gives me
peace of mind knowing that, when an emergency
happens, I’m already doing something to help.
I’m also glad to know that giving this way frees
up more resources for ANERA to spend on
important projects.”
Mary McKone
Monthly donor since 2012
“I’m happy knowing that my monthly gift
is providing vitally-needed resources for
Palestinians, not only in the West Bank and
the blockaded Gaza Strip but also the refugee
camps of Lebanon. I’m proud that, through my
gift, I’m ‘improving lives in the Middle East,’
which is ANERA’s distinctive, essential mission.”

The impact of airstrikes in Gaza in November
2012 mostly destroyed public buildings, but
there was also collateral damage. In some
villages water tanks on top of family homes were
shattered. With funding from the Emir of Kuwait,
ANERA installed new tanks on 120 homes, like
the Amshas’ in Beit Hanoon.
