Children everywhere are hungry to learn. And Mercy Corps is working hard to help them fulfill their potential.

- In Afghanistan, we're helping rebuild agricultural high schools and revamp the national curriculum.
- In Zimbabwe, we're refurbishing schools that agree to educate AIDS orphans for free.
- In Guatemala, we recently handed out donated bookbags filled with notebooks and pencils to 10,000 kids.
And we're there for kids when disaster strikes. In the aftermath of the Indian Ocean Tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, and earthquakes in Pakistan and China, we rushed school supplies to children who'd lost everything.
