How we innovate

Share:

Improving access to health care for rural Guatemalans by financing a network of community-run village pharmacies.

Fighting malnutrition in Indonesia's slums with small businesses that prepare and sell healthy meals from food cart.

Helping restore earthquake-stricken local economies in Haiti through a mobile banking solution that uses mobile phones.

At Mercy Corps, we call these social innovations. We look at our organisation as a culture of creative solutions designed to confront tough challenges. And we consider every team member a social entrepreneur.

Mercy Corps partners with creative thinkers from the private and public sectors to come up with innovative approaches. We take responsible risks, champion new ideas and scale up those that perform best. Many of our most dynamic ideas and most effective approaches come from the people we serve.
