Mercy Hands is an Iraqi non-governmental organization established in 2004, committed to operating in conflict-ridden and disaster-affected regions, delivering both humanitarian and developmental assistance. Our mission begins with saving lives and extends toward establishing a thriving, conflict-free community. We are dedicated to providing emergency aid, reconstructing infrastructure, enhancing living standards, advancing human rights and democracy, advocating for women's rights, fostering environmental improvements, and actively participating in peacebuilding initiatives. Although Mercy Hands is headquartered in Baghdad, it has a remarkable presence throughout the country. The NGO relies on four additional regional offices in Erbil, Basra, Fallujah, and Mosul, as well as mobile teams that cover the entire country. Through its field offices and mobile teams, Mercy Hands implements activities across the country.
Mercy Hands has extensive experience in emergency response and in assisting internally displaced people (IDPs), refugees, and vulnerable populations. Over the years, we have implemented numerous programs designed to address immediate needs, such as food and water distribution, medical care, and shelter provision. In addition to emergency relief, we also focus on long-term support by offering vocational training, psychosocial support, and educational opportunities to help individuals rebuild their lives.
Mercy Hands for Humanitarian Aid has recently obtained a letter from MoDM, that allows our organization to conduct need assessments for Lebanese guests and to provide assistance to them.
