Anera is supporting aspiring nurses in Lebanon.

Through a nursing scholarship program at the Imam Sadr Foundation’s Al-Afaq Development Institute in Tyre, Anera is supporting 10 students from families who cannot afford to continue their education. The scholarships cover their full nursing studies, giving students the opportunity to focus on their education without placing an additional financial burden on their families. Seven students will continue into their second year, while three will advance to their third year.

Lebanon faces a shortage in healthcare workers, and this program is here to equip the next generation of healthcare workers with the skills they need to serve their community. by @aneraorg

Anera’s latest report examines the collapse of education in Gaza, and what has been lost with it: not just classrooms, but the routines, relationships, and sense of possibility that school once gave children. And the psychological toll is profound. Children have endured repeated displacement, loss and violence, while teachers are coping with their own trauma even as they try to support students.

The question remains: What’s next for Gaza’s education system?

Rebuilding will not happen in a single step and it cannot wait for one. Anera’s assessment, together with the priorities identified by the Palestinian Ministry of Education points to a three-phase approach: stabilize, recover next and rebuild for the long term, with work on all three fronts starting now rather than in sequence.

The first phase is about survival, not curriculum. Every recommendation from Anera’s education assessment starts in the same place: safety, basic services and supported teachers are the non-negotiable entry points for any education intervention.

Today marks World Teachers’ Day, an annual UNESCO thematic day recognizing the essential role that teachers worldwide play in creating opportunities and hopeful futures for the next generation.

In Gaza, teachers are navigating devastation. Gaza’s education system has been devastated: over 95% of schools have been destroyed since October 2023, many have been converted into shelters, and more than 1,000 teachers and 18,000 children have lost their lives in the past two years. Additionally, 90% of Gaza’s population, including most teachers, has been displaced. Even after the ceasefire in October 2025, barriers to education remain, with humanitarian aid and school supplies still struggling to reach the region.

Anera ensures that teachers in Gaza and beyond have the resources they need to nourish young minds, from temporary learning spaces in Gaza and building kindergartens in the West Bank to training teachers in Lebanon and providing computers in Jordan.

Girls in Lebanon who face financial hardship, especially in refugee communities, may not be able to attend school. Some are at risk of forced early marriage. The SAWA Project, an initiative between Anera and @naos.csr.me helps girls stay in school.

The program includes activities that promote self-worth and nourish dreams through psychologist-led activities. We recently supported 30 girls through this effort, sustaining our commitment to building better futures. ⭐️ by @aneraorg

For many Palestinian children in the West Bank, access to early childhood education remains limited, particularly in communities affected by movement restrictions and violence. This can have devastating consequences, such as missed days of learning.

Anera builds and rehabilitates kindergartens to bring quality early learning closer to children and their families. These spaces give young children the chance to build confidence, develop essential social and learning skills, and experience the simple joys of childhood.

This particular school was recently established by our team in Jalazone.

Amidst Lebanon’s economic crisis, the cost of a wheelchair can be out of reach for many families. For someone who needs one, this financial barrier can restrict daily activities.

With support from Free Wheelchair Mission, Anera received 520 wheelchairs to help people access something essential: mobility, independence and greater freedom in their daily lives.

The wheelchairs are being distributed throughout Lebanon, including in Palestinian refugee camps, where resources are severely limited.

Meet Nehayah! She lives in one of Jordan’s Palestinian refugee camps and is part of Anera’s WeCan project, our initiative that supports micro-businesses across Palestine, Jordan and Lebanon. Our role is to deliver the training and materials each business owner needs to create a thriving livelihood.

Nehayah runs a small-scale nursery that provides a safe and nurturing environment for children while their mothers are at work. Committed to inclusive care, Nehayah also welcomes children with disabilities, ensuring they have a supportive space to learn and grow. Looking ahead, she hopes to renovate and improve the nursery to make the environment even more child-friendly, accessible and engaging for all the children in her care.

Children are back in school, but in places like the West Bank, extra support is required for a fruitful school year. Anera recently provided 200 backpacks, each containing essential school supplies, to students in the Ramallah and Al Bireh Governorate.

This is one of the many ways Anera supports Palestinian education in the West Bank. Learn more on our website 📖 taken in West Bank by @aneraorg
