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.

Through our ICT program reaching 200+ girls and students with disabilities, we aim for lasting impact. Our three-level approach includes training teachers, delivering ICT sessions (including AI), and supporting internships. With this, we aim to strengthen public schools’ ICT capacity and expand pathways to inclusion, empowerment, and future employment.

We are grateful for the support of the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives @canadadev and our partner @mercy_hands for making this possible.

All girl students and students with disabilities participating in the ICT program receive at least one dedicated session on Artificial Intelligence. 💻🤖

During these sessions, they learn how to use AI tools such as ChatGPT to complement their studies, including receiving feedback and clarifications to support their learning. At the same time, students are taught to critically assess AI-generated information and to consult reliable external sources, particularly for general and health-related information, emphasizing responsible and informed use of AI.

We are grateful for the support of the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives @canadadev @cfli.2025 and our partner @mercy_hands for making this possible.
