Mission Statement

Mercy Corps supports communities - and the most marginalized within them - to emerge from crisis and build towards a more inclusive, resilient future. In more than 40 countries affected by crisis, disaster, poverty and climate change Mercy Corps works alongside communities, local governments, forward-thinking corporations and social entrepreneurs to meet urgent needs and develop long-term solutions to make lasting change possible. We work towards four connected and reinforcing outcomes that determine people's wellbeing and support them to cope, adapt, and thrive: food security, water security, economic opportunities, and peace and good governance.
