Mercy Hands Europe (MHEU) is a women-led, international non-profit organization dedicated to providing humanitarian aid and supporting development initiatives across Iraq, Syria, Ethiopia, and beyond. Based in Geneva, Switzerland, we collaborate closely with local partners to address urgent humanitarian needs and long-term development challenges,
offering essential support to communities in need.
Our mission is to advance sustainable development, promote humanitarian aid, and uphold social justice, ensuring that local voices are at the forefront of addressing the challenges faced by their communities. By partnering with trusted local organizations, MHEU ensures that our interventions are sustainable, culturally sensitive, context-specific, and tailored to the unique needs of each community.

We are committed to empowering local actors to build their capacity, strengthen autonomy, and achieve lasting, positive change. Our approach emphasizes collaboration, advocacy for human rights, and a commitment to ensuring that no one is left behind.
At MHEU, we believe in the transformative power of community-driven development and cross-cultural cooperation. Together with our partners, we are working towards a world where justice,
equality, and sustainability form the foundation of every
community.

💧 Community participation is at the heart of sustainable water access.

As part of our water activity, local community members have been actively involved in each step of the process: collecting sand, transporting materials, preparing the excavation works, and producing concrete cylinders for the water infrastructure.👷🏽‍♂️🤝

These images show more than construction work. They reflect ownership, cooperation and commitment. 🌍✨

By contributing their time, labour, and local knowledge, community members are helping build a solution that responds directly to their needs and can be maintained over time. ⏳🌱

Every stage of this activity reflects a shared effort to improve access to water, strengthen resilience, and support safer and healthier living conditions for families in the area. 🏡🤲

Together, we are not only building infrastructure — we are building community-led solutions for safer water access and stronger resilience. 💪💙

It`s time to see women as agents of change, not just recipients of aid.

In humanitarian work, women are too often seen only through the lens of vulnerability. But across our programs, from beekeeping and agriculture to civil society and peacebuilding, women are proving to be powerful drivers of change in their own communities 💪

At Mercy Hands Europe, gender inclusion is core to how we work, not an add-on. We`re proud to be a women-led organization, standing with women as central actors in building sustainable, inclusive futures.

It`s not about helping women adapt to a better future. It`s about recognizing they`re the ones building it 🌍

☀️ Empowering farmers with knowledge, not just equipment.

This month, our solar irrigation project in Al-Bab went beyond installation, it focused on local expertise.

Two water-management workshops brought together 55 farmers and agricultural engineers (32 in Al-Bab, 23 in Qabbasin) to strengthen irrigation practices and make the most of every drop 💧

At the same time, our team spread the word on why renewable energy matters, reaching over 600 community members through flyer distribution 🌱

From training sessions to grassroots awareness, real change happens when technology meets community ownership.

We are grateful to our partner @iaco_sy and to the generous support of the NextEnergy Foundation 🙏

☀️ The work continues in Qabassin, Al-Bab, and Bizaa!

Our mobile solar-powered irrigation units are passed from one group of farmers to the next and every time a new group receives them, they get fully trained on how to use it.

That`s why workshops on irrigation, water management, and solar operation are continuously running on the ground.

Coming next: community awareness with 4 to 5 sessions planned on the benefits of renewable energy.

Two units, many farmers and knowledge that travels with them 🌱☀️

We are grateful to our partner @iaco_sy and to the generous support of the NextEnergy Foundation 🙏
