Rania Elhilou, Photographer report from the president and chair

We are proud to report that, in fiscal year 2011, ANERA continued to deliver and grow despite the fragile world economy. In fact, our programs in Gaza, a challenging location, achieved new success. USAID had such confidence in ANERA that it authorized us to undertake a number of projects, which required a significant level of coordination to permit the entry of building supplies for repairing clinics, community centers and water systems. We also delivered 17 shipments of medicines and supplies to Gaza and an equal amount to the West Bank.

The 2010-2011 academic year saw the successful implementation of ANERA’s Early Childhood Development program in the West Bank. The program is built on fundamental principles that call for safe schools, child-centered educational processes, and parental and community involvement.

Meanwhile, the staff in Lebanon began two highly innovative projects. In partnership with the American University of Beirut, they devised a means for city dwellers to grow vegetables on rooftops and small plots of land between towering buildings in refugee camps. These methods provide camp residents with free, fresh food, which is very welcome. Their second pilot project partners us with the Qatari agency Reach Out to Asia to train unemployed twenty-year-olds in trades that are in high demand.

All of this progress has occurred in the third year of a recession. The generosity of our loyal supporters has encouraged us throughout. Two particularly inspiring sources of funding came from our monthly donors — whose numbers increased by 10% this year alone — and several generous bequests.

Finally, moving into 2012, we have made some exciting additions to our leadership team: Samar El-Yassir, a native of Beirut with over 20 years of experience in social development, joined us as country director in Lebanon; Paul Butler, a veteran Middle East development professional, filled the post of country director in the West Bank/Gaza; and Donna Diane, a CPA with 30+ years of finance experience, joined us as chief financial officer. They all bring strength and energy to ANERA, making us even better stewards of your funds and dreams.

In a year of much upheaval and uncertainty in the Middle East, ANERA consistently gives you reason to hope and know that good things continue to be accomplished.

We are grateful for your support, which always encourages us,

Edward Gnehm Bill Corcoran Chair of the Board President & CEO Economic Development

Roy Les Janka Advisory Council mission statement American Near East Refugee Aid (ANERA) advances the well-being of people in the West Bank, Gaza, Lebanon and Jordan. Through partnerships and close consultation with local groups and communities, ANERA responds to economic, health and educational needs with sustainable solutions and also delivers humanitarian aid during emergencies.

In Lebanon, ANERA sent five youth from Palestinian refugee camps to the Al-Kafaàt Foundation to enroll in its excellent vocational training programs. The scholarships, jointly funded by Al-Kafaàt and ANERA, are in the fields of business, jewelry-making, and electronics. This is the first time that some of the youngsters have been out of the camps and socializing with other segments of society.

In partnership with UNRWA, ANERA distributed more than 40,000 new books, donated by the International Book Bank, to 40 schools in Jordan. The colorful, lively illustrations were a big hit with the children
