Mercy Hands Europe

Mercy Hands Europe (MHEurope) is a women-led not-for-profit organisation registered in Geneva that works to safeguard dignity, sustain human rights and build sustainable futures for vulnerable people, particularly those who are the most vulnerable such as returenees, refugees, IDPs, women, children and minorities.

MHEurope implements development projects in disaster-affected areas in Iraq, Ukraine, Syria and Ethiopia, either directly through field missions, its sister organisation, or other local partners. Its projects combine the in-depth national presence of their partners, their field experience and knowledge of local contexts with the thematic expertise of MHEurope, their program managers’ extensive experience and contacts with Swiss, European and international institutions.

MHEurope is the bridge between the international world and local organisations. MHEurope does not only advocate and raise awareness but has its own activities in the protection, education and livelihoods sector, with the added value of capacity building and experts from the large international organisation. Currently, MHEurope is implementing projects in the sector of Emergency, Education, Protection, and agriculture, in partnership with UNDP, the Embassy of Canada, Swiss foundations, and the German Government.
