Building A Better Future in Palestine – What’s Your Vision?

A message from Anera President & CEO, Sean Carroll…

During a recent visit to Palestine, I visited some fields laced by sanasil, stone wall terraces, in the West Bank. For millennia, these sanasil have protected the land they are built upon from erosion and farmer’s crops and orchards from flooding or grazing wild animals.

While Anera hasn’t been in Palestine for as long as the sanasil, we are here to stay despite the challenges of recent U.S. government funding cuts. We promise not to lose sight of or give up on our mission to help hope find a way in the Middle East.

Please watch this 90-second video to learn how, with your vision and support, we continue everyday to build opportunities and better futures for refugees in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Jordan.
