Below are examples of programs from Care2 partner, ANERA. As the director of your own aid agency, which of them would you support? (Click all that apply.) |
| Micro-enterprise does well in difficult economic conditions, because it provides alternatives to more expensive products. These small businesses generate income for the borrowers' families which in turn stimulates the local economy. |

| Just last year, ANERA rehabilitated eight cooperatives in Lebanon, while
in the West Bank they began constructing/rehabilitating, at five
cooperatives, 350 plastic house units for an equal number of households
to produce exportable produce. |
78 % | |
| In Gaza, an alarming number of children are suffering from malnutrition, anemia, micro-nutrient and vitamin A deficiencies. This ANERA program provides milk and fortified biscuits. Not only does the program supply nutrients for healthy young bodies, but it also provides jobs for bakery workers. |

| ANERA began its work in the Middle East by providing emergency relief immediately after the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. Today, it still delivers donated medical supplies, pharmaceuticals and nutritional supplements, and hygiene kits to health institutions in the region. |
89 % | |
| This scholarship program entails hundreds of individual gifts of $175 per child in poverty or with special needs. Funds cover costs such as books, school supplies, teacher and staff salaries, clothing, basic medical care, and room and board. |
77 % | |
| Employment opportunities are scarce due to movement restrictions, closures, and checkpoint delays. By working over the internet, ANERA trained IT graduates transcend these restrictions and can earn needed income. |
