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.

• 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.

ANERA shipped 24,000 quilts, donated by Lutheran World Relief, to Palestinian 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.” Charlton Price Monthly donor since 2008

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.
