From the soaring mountain peaks of Kashmir to the terraced tea gardens of Darjeeling and Assam's humid lowlands, Mercy Corps is helping some of India's most vulnerable communities confront their challenges and pull themselves from poverty. With help from Oregon-based Tazo Tea, we've created a strategy that's bringing much-needed economic development, health and education programmes to India's tea lands. In Kashmir, our projects focus on environmental protection, agricultural livelihoods and economic opportunity.
