Climate Change

Help confront climate change while creating jobs in some of the world's poorest places by donating to small, innovative projects in the developing world.

Mercy Corps helps communities address critical climate dilemmas by providing economic opportunities for hard-working individuals and families. That way, there's a more immediate stake in environmental stewardship, as well as a better chance for sustainability.

From smaller initiatives like wood-efficient cookstoves in Congo and planting trees in Colombia, to large bio-diesel generating programs in places like Bosnia and Herzegovina, we're partnering with communities and local experts to find innovative solutions to climate challenges.
