North Korea
For more than a decade, Mercy Corps has brought food, critical supplies, crop seedlings and cultural exchange to the people of North Korea.
Years of flooding, drought, extensive deforestation and fuel shortages have led to the collapse of North Korea's agricultural system and several consecutive years of disastrous food shortages. Severe malnutrition and diseases threaten families. Since 1996, Mercy Corps has worked with vulnerable families and communities to ensure health and nutritional needs are met, and working to find long-term solutions.
