Why We Want To Help The Mercy Corps 


Since 1979, Mercy Corps has provided over $830 million in assistance to people in 80 
nations. The organization's 2000 staff worldwide currently reach 6 million people in more 
than 35 countries. More than 91% of the agency's resources are allocated to programs that 
directly assist those in need.With headquarters in the United States and Scotland, Mercy 
Corps is an international family of humanitarian agencies that reaches more than six million 
people each year. 

Their Hunger Site click program allows those who may not be able to afford a cash donation
 to contribute towards food for the hungry, paid for by site sponsors whose ads appear after 
each click.In a matter of moments, a devastating tsunami took lives, homes and dreams. 
Today, Mercy Corps is delivering aid to over 250,000 survivors - standing by them as they
 heal and rebuild their familes and communities. 

Today, Mercy Corps is helping communities lay the foundation for a stronger future,
 including re-opening schools so that children can continue their education.Buying IAA's CD,
 Hope Never Dies, is a tuneful way of contributing to their work. Because every penny
 counts.
