Today, Weekly Charity would like to direct your attention to … the Mercy Corps!
The Mercy Corps is an international organization focusing on helping those dealing with hunger and poverty to find long-term solutions to those problems.
Working in over 40 countries, the Mercy Corps has helped people in many ways, from providing relief assistance to “getting involved with deeper problems” (1).
Mercy Corps also provides assistance with microfinance all over the world, being affiliated with quite a few banks in quite a few nations.
As usual, Weekly Charity lacks much direct affiliation with the Mercy Corps, but highly encourages volunteering with or donating to them.
Now, for those interested in their statistics:
Charity Navigator gives the Mercy Corps: 3 out of 4 stars
Charity Watch gives them: An A- rating
Mercy Corps meets 20/20 of the BBB Wise Giving Alliance’s Standards for Charity Accountability.
