BACKGROUND
Anera is a nonprofit organization founded in 1968 that provides resources for refugees in Jordan and supports livelihood, education, and humanitarian relief projects.
Millions of refugees from conflict currently live in Jordan. The country has more than two million Palestinian refugees registered with UNRWA, and about 655,000 Syrian refugees registered with UNHCR. From 2004 to 2011, Anera maintained an office in Jordan that managed primary and vocational education programs, public health, disability support, and women’s empowerment for families in poor communities and refugee camps.
In 2019, Anera returned to establish a permanent presence in Jordan to support refugees residing there. Anera has found strong support from Jordanian government officials, donors, and leading international organizations in the humanitarian and development fields. Today, Anera is officially registered with the Ministry of Social Development and is a key member of UN sector working group meetings, covering the areas of health, education, livelihoods, and basic needs.
