About us
POWERED BY POSSIBLE The world is more fragile than ever. Food shortages have left millions of people hungry, while violent conflict has sent millions on the run. From poverty and malnutrition to natural disasters and climate change, it’s easy to see a world of insurmountable challenges. Instead, we see an opportunity to create transformative change. We see the world differently. In crisis, we believe in the power of human potential. In struggle, we believe in the ability of communities to grow stronger. So we act differently. We understand that communities are the best agents of their own change and local markets are the best engines of long-term recovery. In more than 40 countries, we partner to put bold solutions into action, helping people triumph over adversity and grow stronger from within. For the refugee who dreams of rebuilding her country, for the mother who wants a healthy future for her children — for millions of people filled with the power of possibility —Mercy Corps connects people to the resources they need to build better, stronger lives. We create transformative change. Mercy Corps has responded to nearly every global emergency over the past 20 years. Since 1979, we have provided $3.7 billion in lifesaving assistance throughout the world. Each year we infuse millions of dollars into local economies through small business loans and grants to provide livelihoods for the world’s most vulnerable people. We are empowering more than 100,000 youth trapped by violent conflict to overcome the profound stress of war and become change makers in their communities. We are powered by the belief that a better world is possible. Join us.

📢 According to today’s IPC analysis, 1.84 million people — over 90% of #Gaza’s population — are in crisis, with 345,000 people on the brink of starvation. Destruction of critical infrastructure and the lack of aid has decimated Gaza’s food, water, and healthcare systems. Despite these challenges, Mercy Corps has provided life-saving aid to over 190,000 people, including food, emergency cash, hygiene kits, and psychosocial support. But we need your voice. The international community must demand an immediate ceasefire and unimpeded humanitarian access to save lives.

People living in climate-vulnerable communities need sustainable solutions—now. Within these fragile contexts, women bear the weight of feeding and providing for their families, often with fewer resources. And without inclusive, climate-smart innovations, more than 3 billion people will face acute hunger by 2050. Mercy Corps’ Women’s Climate Alliance is working to rewrite this narrative by partnering with women to position them as leaders in climate innovation and equipping them with the tools to build resilience within their communities. Because, together, we can cultivate real, sustainable change. Learn more about the Women's Climate Alliance: https://lnkd.in/gfyD4w-T #women #climate #internationaldevelopment #humanitarianaid
