With the help of Anera’s rooftop garden program, Abu Ali from the Al Burghelieh village of South Lebanon has been able to harvest 100 kilograms (200 pounds) of fresh produce.

“This is only the beginning,” he says.
Anera programming has empowered hundreds of families like Abu Ali’s to gain greater access to fresh produce and financial independence, hear more from Abu Ali below:
