Operation Mercy

Operation Mercy is an international relief and development organization with over 30 years of experience. We are a community of professionals who serve the poor and marginalized in ten countries throughout Central Asia, North Africa and the Middle East through an array of community development and humanitarian aid projects.

“Our vision is to work in partnership with others to restore hope, grow capacity, and promote community through relief and development initiatives that help transform lives, including our own.”

Our Mission

Operation Mercy is a global community of project managers, administrators, accountants, engineers, health professionals, therapists, community workers, teachers, and other occupations. Our international staff of approximately 300 come from over 30 different nations, speak more than sixty languages and represent different faiths. Some are volunteers, some salaried, some long-term, some short-term, men and women, young and old. Our diversity is our strength.

In spite of being different from each other we are united by common purpose and values. Perhaps the prayer of St. Francis of Assisi (1182 -1226) and the verse from the Persian poet Sa’di (1213 – 1291) best summarize our shared aspirations as a community of humanitarian professionals:
