Mercy Corps was among the first humanitarian groups to use relief and development programs to strengthen civil society. Simply handing out food, building a school or immunizing a child is not enough - especially in countries torn by ethnic conflict and economic transition. Just a few weeks of armed conflict can destroy roads, schools, businesses and health systems that took years of traditional development work to build. Working side by side with the poor, we bring diverse groups together to create societies that are more peaceful, open, democratic and economically strong.
Since our founding, Mercy Corps has been committed to good stewardship of the gifts entrusted to us. Our work is made possible through the generosity of thousands of caring individuals, corporations, foundations, faith communities and other donors.
