Anera's Woman Can program provides budding entrepreneurs with hands-on training, business skills, and mentorship to help them grow their businesses. The program focuses on women who face an extra layer of challenges, such as being a refugee, a single mothers, and unemployed, to ensure they have the chance to expand by funding their businesses.
For women like Sameera, entrepreneurship means sustainability and creating opportunities for herself and others. Sameera lives in Baqa’a Camp in Jordan, where employment opportunities are scarce, so innovation is key. She turns old clothes and fabric scraps into handmade products such as tote bags, traditional dresses, and cushion covers. By recycling materials and preserving traditional designs, she built a small business while also creating income opportunities for other women in her community.

The situation in Lebanon and across the SWANA region is intensifying, but you can help.
Anera's team is on the ground responding right now. Your support makes it possible for us to provide ready-to-eat meals, hygiene kits, water and other essential items that support displaced families.
As of today, 17 localities across the Bekaa, South and Nabatieh governorates received displacement orders, which means the need for basic items is only increasing.
Help can't wait. Donate today to support families in Lebanon and beyond: https://give.anera.org/campaign/803060/donate?c_src=facebook
Anera recently launched the Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) training program, in the presence of the Minister of Public Health, Dr. Rakan Nassereddine.
Nine doctors from the emergency and intensive care departments at Rafik Hariri University Hospital, Baabda Governmental Hospital, and Sibline Governmental Hospital are undergoing training to introduce POCUS technology to patients.
POCUS technology is a qualitative tool that allows for the rapid detection of life-threatening conditions, reducing the time required for medical intervention in emergency and trauma cases, especially during times of sudden influx or high pressure.
This initiative is implemented with the support of the Ministry of Public Health, Anera, MedGlobal, and Mehad, advancing the integration of POCUS within Lebanon’s emergency care system.
Sean C. Carroll, President and CEO of Anera, reports from a technical and vocational school in Dekweneh, now serving as a collective shelter, where trainees from the Learning to Earning program by UNICEF Lebanon, implemented by Anera, are preparing daily hot meals for displaced families living in the shelter.
While meeting urgent needs on the ground, they are also building skills and earning an income through hands-on work.
