About MHEurope
Mercy Hands Europe (MHEurope) is a women-led international non-profit organization that has been registered in Geneva, Switzerland since 2019. It is the sister organization of Mercy Hands for Humanitarian Aid (MH), the biggest local NGO in Iraq, founded in 2004. We are currently developing projects in Iraq, Syria, Ukraine, and Ethiopia through local partners.
Combined with local partners’ national presence, field experience, and knowledge of local contexts, MHEurope’s thematic expertise, program managers’ experience, and contacts with Swiss, European, and generally international institutions create a strategic and unique alliance to promote solid, sustainable and context-specific projects.
