For over 20 years, Anera has offered support to Palestinian students studying instruments at the Edward Said National Conservatory of Music (ESNCM) in Palestine. Since 2010, donor support has allowed Anera to also fund the Gaza Music School, which is now the fifth branch of the ESNCM.

This year, we’re happy to announce that 100 students at the Gaza Music School will receive Anera scholarships to continue playing music and learning to express themselves through their instruments.

In addition, Anera delivers shipments of instruments, including violins, guitars, pianos, ouds and more.
