Since 1968, Anera has worked to help refugees and communities affected by conflict in Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan rebuild their lives with purpose, opportunity and hope. What began as a response to urgent humanitarian needs has grown into decades of sustained partnership with communities determined to shape their own futures.
Anera is independent, with no political or religious affiliation, allowing us to focus fully on what matters most: delivering support where it is needed, in partnership with local organizations and community leaders. Our teams live and work in the communities they serve, navigating complex realities to ensure assistance reaches people facing the greatest barriers.
We respond to immediate emergencies while also investing in long-term solutions—strengthening health systems, expanding access to education, and supporting economic opportunity. This dual approach helps communities to recover while building resilience for the future.
In 2025 alone, Anera mobilized more than $171 million to support programs across Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan delivering clean water, medical care, educational opportunities, livelihoods and more to families who need them most. Our commitment is and always has been to stand alongside communities until lasting change takes root.
