Food/Nutrition

Distributing food is sometimes necessary, especially during times of crisis — but Mercy Corps believes in teaching people to fish, plant gardens and raise livestock for their household needs. This holistic approach not only ensures that families don't go hungry, but also looks out for their health needs and long-term economic prospects.
