[ SCHOOL SUPPLIES KIT ]

Children need basic tools — pencils, paper and books — to help them build their knowledge and imaginations. In some of the world's poorest places, however, even the most basic school supplies are either too expensive for struggling families or simply unavailable. Conflict and disaster only worsen the poverty that renders learning an even more challenging prospect than it should be.

Mercy Corps is working in war-scarred places like Iraq, Sudan and Uganda to bring learning materials to children who have often gone years without even a classroom. Your purchase of a School Supplies Kit helps us deliver one of the world's most precious gifts — the opportunity to learn — to children eager to create a more hopeful future.

When you buy a Mercy Kit, we will deliver a beautiful, full-color card to your recipient by regular mail or email — you choose. This card describes in detail how your gift is supporting Mercy Corps' work around the world. A Mercy Kit is a caring, convenient way to share your commitment with a friend or loved one.
