Who we are

Mercy Corps is a global team of humanitarians working together on the front lines of crisis, disaster, poverty, and climate change to create a world where everyone can prosper. Beyond delivering aid to meet urgent needs, we develop long-term solutions to make lasting change possible.

What we do

In over 40 countries, we work with local changemakers, global innovators, and people most affected by crises to help fragile communities break the cycle of poverty, rebuild after disaster, and forge new paths to prosperity in the face of injustice, instability, and climate change.


Join us in building a more equitable world.
