Anera invites you to our 2022 Annual Gala!
We’re coming back together in person for our Annual Gala: September 30, 2022 at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC.
Tools for Tomorrow: Equipping and Transforming Lives
We believe that each person, no matter their circumstances, embodies promise. And people equipped with the right tools can shape the life of their families, their neighborhoods, and their region.

Our theme
Tools for Tomorrow | Equipping and transforming lives
We believe that each person, no matter their circumstances, embodies promise. And people equipped with the right tools can shape the lives of their families, their neighborhoods and their region. Communities in Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan navigate difficult realities every day to improve their own lives. Anera’s 2022 Annual Gala is raising funds to provide tools of all kinds so that the communities we serve can forge their own futures and help hope find a way.
Your sponsorship will provide tools in the form of job skills training for out-of-work youth, farming infrastructure and training, clean water for schools and health facilities, computer equipment and tech skill development for children, support for women entrepreneurs, and so much more.
