Programs
Reducing Poverty and Improving Lives ›
Mercy Corps fosters market driven, locally appropriate economic development in some of the world’s most challenging areas. We make use of already existing market relationships – those between buyers, sellers, producers, and consumers – to bridge social and political divides via business and trade.
Reducing Hunger, Raising Incomes and Preserving The Environment by Investing In Agriculture ›
In the countries where Mercy Corps works, agriculture provides the main source of household income and is the primary means of food security for 57 percent of the population. These people face incredible obstacles: soaring prices for food, seeds and other supplies; outdated technology; unfavorable or limited access to markets and financial services; and poor soil and water resource management.
A Growing Opportunity For Action ›
Climate change is a growing threat to human society. As it throws natural systems further out of balance, poor nations and communities feel the effect most severely because they lack the resources and support to adapt.
Food Security Programs: From Sustenance to Self-Sufficiency ›
Mercy Corps works to help poor communities get sufficient, safe and nutritious food – now
and in the future. We provide immediate relief to hungry families and we help people achieve self-sufficiency, through economic and agricultural development, so they can feed themselves over the long term.
