Increasing Equipment and Medicine Availability
Anera increases accessibility to healthcare equipment and medicine with our delivery efforts. We distribute healthcare materials to hospitals, schools, clinics, community centers and other facilities in need. Since 1968, we’ve delivered over $7600 million worth of supplies across Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan. Distributed items include:
- Medication for chronic conditions
- Emergency and life-saving materials
- Over-the-counter drugs
- Mental health medications
- School kits
- Hygiene kits
- Wheelchairs
- Dialysis machines
After determining a location’s supply needs, we send donations by sea or air. Anera continuously communicates with facilities to ensure quality control and identify new concerns.
The relief donations help vulnerable families and others in need access quality medical care. Increased availability lets people live healthier and more fulfilling lives.
Hospital and Clinic Upgrades in Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan
Anera builds and improves healthcare clinics and hospitals to address pressing infrastructure problems. Many facilities are in disrepair from water damage, deteriorating paint, outdated equipment and other issues. Limited locations cause overcrowding or a complete lack of access for patients.
Thanks to generous donations, Anera upgrades existing facilities and builds new locations. Our efforts improve healthcare services for community members and others in need. Anera improvement projects include:
- Adding elevators
- Installing solar panels
- Distributing medical supplies
- Upgrading emergency rooms
- Providing water filtration systems
Money health administrators don’t need to spend on medicines, supplies or electricity and water bills can be directed to providing the best quality care for their patients.
Psychosocial Support for Those Suffering in Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan
Our psychosocial services help children and adults in Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan. Experiences with poverty and violence have severe impacts on mental health. Children who have lived through instability and personal crises have an increased risk of psychological trauma, which shapes their development into adulthood.
Anera provides mental health services and resources for refugees and other vulnerable populations. We offer sports programs and facilities to let children express themselves and process emotions. We also develop arts, music and other activities to help kids creatively release feelings.
In addition, we deliver mental health medication to those in need. Medication can significantly assist with anxiety, depression and other conditions. Our donations allow us to ship medicine to Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan and improve people’s mental health.
Health Education
Anera trains healthcare professionals and community members to build healthy lifestyle habits. Our health education materials help people identify disease symptoms, explain the importance of vaccinations, describe when and how to use medications, and provide other essential tips. Training materials also explain good hygiene and healthy eating behaviors. These programs assist community members of all ages, from small children to adults.
