Mission: Mercy Corps exists to alleviate suffering, poverty and oppression by helping people build secure, productive and just communities.

Programs: In disaster and in hardship, we're there when people need us—before, during or after an emergency. We take a comprehensive approach to every challenge, looking for solutions that empower people to survive crises, build better lives and transform their communities for good. In more than 40 countries around the world, we work directly with leaders and changemakers on the ground—focusing especially on women and young people—to build local strength and stability. We help people meet their urgent needs through interventions like cash, disaster preparedness, emergency response, food assistance, protection and shelter, and water, sanitation and hygiene. We also deliver the breakthrough solutions that help people build a stronger tomorrow, promoting resilience through agricultural development, children and youth, economic opportunity, health and nutrition, innovations, peacebuilding, and women and girls. Together with our partners from every sector, we're applying bold solutions to help spark, scale and sustain change. Because stronger communities mean a more peaceful world.
