ABOUT
Working with Farmers
Farming has sustained communities in the Middle East for thousands of years, but today, Palestinian and Lebanese farmers face unprecedented challenges.
War has devastated agricultural lands in Gaza and southern Lebanon, compounding water shortages, economic instability, and access restrictions. Despite these hardships, farming remains a vital source of livelihood and resilience.
Anera works with rural communities to restore and sustain agriculture. In Gaza, where vast farmlands have been destroyed, we are helping families grow food again by installing rooftop and small-plot greenhouses equipped with water-smart irrigation. In Lebanon, where conflict and economic collapse have deepened food insecurity, our vocational training programs provide young people with the skills to work in agriculture, offering pathways to employment. In the West Bank, we continue to support innovative water solutions, including use of Palestine’s first large-scale wastewater treatment facility for farmland irrigation, and we empower women entrepreneurs in animal husbandry.
Your support is helping farmers rebuild and adapt, ensuring that agriculture remains a lifeline for communities across the region.
Gaza Farmlands
have been decimated
Rebuilding farms requires water, seeds, land reclamation, and clearing hazards like unexploded ordnance and chemical pollution.
Lebanese Farmers
in the south need to rebuild
We provide essential tools, training and resources to boost production and adapt.
Food Security
is under threat
But simple family greenhouses, build on rooftops, can provide ample stores of healthy food.
