Displacement

Imagine having just minutes to take what you could from your home before fleeing from disaster or war. This is the reality for millions of displaced families, who languish in overcrowded camps or lonely city streets with no idea when — or if — they can return home. Mercy Corps helps these families with basic supplies and shelter, temporary jobs, makeshift classrooms and preparation for a hoped-for return.
