ANERA’s Mission ANERA creates opportunity and hope for people in the Middle East by improving health care and education and stimulating job creation.

ANERA’s Core Values ANERA views relief—alleviating suffering—and development—reducing poverty—as the beginning and end points on a continuum of human need. In helping people meet these fundamental necessities, ANERA contributes to achieving their freedom from want, which ANERA deems an essential component to peace in the Middle East. Report from the Chair and President

Dear Friends of ANERA, A phrase often heard about the Middle East is that “it can’t get any worse”. And yet it does! July 2006 brought war to Southern Lebanon, and further restrictions and factional tensions to the West Bank and Gaza. Nevertheless, ANERA has still managed to deliver a record number of services by utilizing innovation and flexibility. In donated medicines alone, ANERA operations doubled from $20 million to $43 million with approximately 25% ($10 million) directed toward our newest country office in Lebanon. In May 2007, containers of life-saving medications were delivered to hospitals and clinics in Beddawi camp which have received thousands of Palestinian refugees from the destroyed Nahr al-Bared camp near Tripoli. Since last summer our Beirut staff, partnering with various local NGOs, rehabilitated devastated farms, clinics and youth centers with millions of dollars in

Photo: Joe Kovacs riddled with unexploded ordnance and in communities divided by sectarianism. ANERA has established itself in the region as an agency worthy of respect in a remarkably short time. In the West Bank and Gaza, as conditions deteriorate, the importance of USAID-funded projects like Emergency Water & Sanitation (EWAS) has significantly increased. The repair and replacement of pipes for the distribution of clean water and proper collection of sewage have become critical. Many parents have thanked ANERA for clearing their streets of unhealthy waste which now allows children to play outdoors without becoming ill. Our Milk for Preschoolers project feeds 20,000 children every day and has become imperative in Gaza as families struggle to simply put food on the table. Desire exists to expand coverage to more children and a wider array of preschools through the gifts of private donors. Construction of the Najjad Zeenni IT Center of Excellence at Birzeit University continues on schedule. Work has broken ground and significant portions of the buildings have been erected. This represents only one of five cutting-edge informa- tion-technology centers designed and built by ANERA in recent years. For our staff, the first daily struggle is simply traveling to work. Checkpoints, barriers and the ever-broadening requirements for permits have made commutes to ANERA offices longer and more challenging, or, sometimes, even impossible. To facilitate communications and project administration, video-conferencing must be installed between several West Bank offices, though they are only miles apart.

Still, our resilient staff endures and wins admiration. The Jerusalem office earned its first-ever grant from the Canadian government’s International Development Agency (CIDA) which exceeded $1.3 million and focuses on the urgent needs of children traumatized by violence. The Elie Wiesel Foundation invited an ANERA physician to address a conference of Nobel Laureates on the issue of Palestinian health. Teacher training in Gaza was re-funded by the Notre Dame de Sion Sisters because they found the first phase of the projects so effective. Praise has been forthcoming from other sources closer to home. , an overseer of fiscal responsibility among nonprofit organizations, honored ANERA with its highest 4-star ranking for the fifth consecutive year. That distinction has been achieved by only 3 percent of all ranked nonprofits. In addi- tion, the American Institute of Philanthropy gave ANERA a grade of “A” for its financial performance. Multiple sources cite us as worthy stewards of contributions given by thousands of ANERA’s loyal supporters. Most impressive is that all these developments have occurred in the midst of a significant internal transition at ANERA. In January, President Peter Gubser made a planned retirement after 29 years of remarkable leadership. His timing included overlap with ANERA’s incoming President, Bill Corcoran. Having served as an NGO professional and businessman for years in the Middle East, Bill’s transition was a smooth one. To insure that seamless progression, he traveled to the region three times during his first six months as President. The Middle East seems more frayed at the edges and despairing of a better future. Repeated upheavals throughout the year have exacerbated this instability. Governments have come and gone. NGOs arrived and departed. One constant, however, has been ANERA’s presence “on the ground”. We are approaching our 40th year of committed service to the cause of human dignity in the Middle East. We are proud and deeply grateful that you are partnering with us. Let us continue to improve lives together now and in the future.

Community and Economic Development Profile Emergency Water & Sanitation Emergency Water and Sanitation (EWAS) is ANERA’s largest project and received $3.85 million in project grants from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) during fiscal year 2007. EWAS responds to emergency needs, addresses humanitarian situations concerning water and sanitation in the West Bank and Gaza, and creates short-term employment opportunities for poor and outlying Palestinian communities. Though all EWAS interventions are emergency responses in nature, their implementation results in long-term benefit to the targeted communities. The water and sanitation needs of Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza face several challenges. Under current economic circumstances, municipalities often lack funds to maintain and rehabilitate old and deteriorating water and sewage networks. Many unemployed Palestinians can no longer afford to pay their utility bills and are cut off even from the municipal water supply. Because the water that reaches the households is carried by antiquated and leaking pipes, it is often unsafe to drink. In the West Bank, diarrhea and skin rash commonly result from high levels of bacteria and contamination of the pipelines. community and economic development An even more severe humanitarian concern is the lack of access to any water by some rural communities, which forces people to rely upon tankers in summer and scarce rainwater in winter. In Gaza, the rapid increase in population has outgrown the ability to maintain capable sewage networks. Untreated sewage frequently flows into streets and playgrounds, while unpaved roads lack drainage, which results in sewage lakes following rain. This restricts movement by locals and creates breeding grounds for flies and mosquitoes.

The development of cisterns like this one in Aqaba is part of ANERA’s Emergency Water and Sanitation project in the West Bank and Gaza. Palestinians in rural communities often rely on these cisterns for a regular water supply. “This is just one more example of why CMMB values its Photo: Marko Wramén collaborations with ANERA so much. Your accountability is without end, despite the challenges that permeate your efforts.”

During fiscal year 2007, to fulfilling livelihoods and support ANERA overcame tenuous local politics to bring real solutions to communities for individuals and families. in need. Our medical experts collected evidence of health-related problems from local doctors and analyzed water samples to determine where EWAS projects would have the greatest impact. In hilly areas, EWAS responded to frequent occurrences of flooding in towns and villages (which damages homes and businesses) by installing proper drainage pipes that route collected rainwater safely into nearby wadis and help ewas Project accomplishments recharge water aquifers.

Health Care and Relief Profile Medical Relief in Lebanon For nearly four decades, ANERA has relied on critical partnerships both in the United States and in the Middle East to bring health care and emergency medical relief to people in the West Bank, Gaza, Lebanon and Jordan. Impoverished and underserved communities benefited tremendously from improved health and medical care with generous in-kind of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies. This was especially true during the 34-day war in South Lebanon. In the summer of 2006, over 1,000 people died, 4,000 were injured and over 1 million temporarily dis- placed during the fighting. In response, ANERA received and distributed medicines and supplies from AmeriCares and the Catholic Medical Mission Board. ANERA has worked with both for many years. While funding from private donors supports ANERA’s programs, we also receive grants from governmental agencies such as the U.S. Agency for International Development and non-governmental organizations to finance logistics, transportation, product acquisition and distribution costs. During the war in Lebanon, ANERA received a $500,000 grant from Mercy Corps, which supplemented private contributions and enabled ANERA to deliver hot meals and personal hygiene supplies to thousands of displaced persons. Finally, we rely on our project partners who maintain a strong presence in the regions where we work to distribute medical aid. In Lebanon, we rely on the Health Care Society and YMCA-Lebanon to distribute the aid. The YMCA’s Medical Assistance Program includes hundreds of clinics and hospitals throughout the country. The program began operations during Lebanon’s 1975-1990 civil war and continued through the ensuing years, assuring that the distribution of ANERA aid last year was effective and comprehensive. The Health Care Society concentrates its efforts on Palestinian camps and provided ANERA with the most direct access to refugees in the south most affected Nurse Hamsa checks a patient’s blood pressure at the municipality clinic in Beit Awwa, thanks by the humanitarian crisis. We also worked with long-time partner IRAP (Institut de to equipment provided through ANERA’s Hanan Réeducation Audio-Phonétique) in the Metn region to distribute thousands of infant project.

Although the devastating effects of the war in South Lebanon remain to this day, ANERA was able to maximize its aid efforts in the region thanks to its strong relationships with non-governmental organizations, donors and local partners. In fact, the distribution of hygiene kits evolved into a sustainable program, the Creative Health Campaign, which offers ongoing education, and health and nutritional training to women and children in “Your contributions enable Lebanon.

Education Program Profile Preschool Teacher Training ANERA continued to fill a significant gap in childhood education in Gaza during fiscal year 2007 with its successful preschool teacher-training project. Many education preschools rely on untrained volunteer teachers and facilities. ANERA’s preschool teacher training provided 150 hours of instruction to 80 preschool teachers through the Canaan Institute of New Pedagogy, a non-governmental organization with resource and training centers, professional staff and an excellent reputation for working with other organizations in educational development. A study commissioned and funded by ANERA, and conducted by Gazan aca- demicians found that school children typically are not exposed to sufficient active learning processes or developmental play. Rote learning among young minds can lead to behavioral and stress-related concerns. Educational processes in the past have not centered on students, and failed to inspire them to continue learning. Preschool training addresses this challenge. Many women also have undeveloped talents and capabilities, and the desire to make a lasting difference in their communities. ANERA’s training provides them with an opportunity. These women have been seeking jobs to supplement family incomes in an increasingly challenging economy. Most have no college degrees in education or other formal training, but the rigorous instruction they received from the Canaan Institute supplements their knowledge and greatly impacts their personal lives and their ability to improve the educational environment for children. Instruction cen- ters on child development, organizational skills, active learning techniques, commu- nications, child rights, human relations, and parent and community involvement. This training expands upon a pilot project initiated by ANERA. An evalua- tion found that the training was successful, that teachers applied their knowledge to
