Georgia
Farmer's associations, technical assistance, small loans and ethnic reconciliation are vital to creating healthier rural communities in Georgia.
Georgia's independence from the Soviet Union in 1991 was much desired, but it also brought a multitude of social and economic hardships. More than a decade later, vulnerable communities in Georgia continue to be marginalized by a lack of economic and educational opportunities, resulting in dire poverty and desperation. Mercy Corps focuses on working with communities to identify needs and work toward achievable, sustainable solutions. We are also currently assisting families uprooted by the recent conflict between Georgian and Russian forces.
