What is Mercy Corps?
Mercy Corps is a charitable organization which works in countries in transition, and also in areas which have experienced recent natural disasters. The goal of the organization is to empower people to make positive changes in their communities, using a heavily community based and led approach to make changes from the ground up. Rather than simply offering food to a hungry village, for example, Mercy Corps will help the village establish fields for crops and irrigation systems to supply them, thereby bringing both aid and independence.
