OVERVIEW

"Education," says UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, "is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family."

Mercy Corps embraces a broad definition of education: we teach livestock breeders in Lebanon less costly ways to grow feed, build temporary classrooms in Darfur's refugee camps, construct all-girls schools in the West Bank, show residents in Central Asia ways to promote peace among neighbors and demonstrate more efficient farming techniques in South Sudan.
