Back on our Projects page, you can select the specific project you want to allocate your donation to ➔
Mercy Hands Europe is officially recognized as a non-profit organization in Switzerland. This means that donations made to MHEU are eligible for tax exemption under Swiss law. When you support our work, you’re not only helping vulnerable communities—you may also benefit from a reduction in your taxable income.
Whether you are an individual donor or a company, you will receive a donation receipt confirming your contribution, which you can include in your tax declaration. This applies to donations made via bank transfer, credit card, or any of the forms available on our website.
We recommend consulting your local tax authority or advisor to understand the specific benefits you’re entitled to, especially if you are donating from outside Switzerland.
If you have any questions regarding your donation receipt or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us at .
Your support can extend far beyond your lifetime. By choosing to include MHEU in your will, you can help ensure that future generations continue to benefit from sustainable development and humanitarian assistance. Legacy gifts, also known as bequests, are a powerful way to contribute to long-term change while aligning your personal values with a meaningful cause.
If you are considering this option, we would be happy to provide you with more information and guidance. Please feel free to contact us at .
☀️ Moving one step closer to clean energy for Al-Bab`s health center
📷 Behind the scenes, final adjustments are being completed to ensure the solar system installed at the health center performs at its best before launch
👩🔧 Meanwhile, local teams are strengthening their hands-on skills, building the knowledge needed to manage the unit for the future
This is more than installation: it’s about creating lasting, locally-driven impact.
Stay with us as we reach the final milestone ⚡
We are grateful to our partner @iaco_sy and to the generous support of the NextEnergy Foundation 🙏

🌱 Soil Health Update from the Field
Good progress continues as farmers strengthen their soil through composting and natural practices. A total of 62 farmers are now engaged in vermicomposting, building their own vermishades and sharing knowledge through peer-to-peer learning.
🌿 Alongside this, 33 farmers (including 15 women) are actively preparing simple compost, improving soil fertility with accessible, low-cost methods.
We are grateful for our implementing partner Agri Service Ethiopia, and the contribution of @ville_de_geneve, Commune de Collonge-Bellerive, and Commune de Vandœuvres for making this possible.

🌱 From February to April: a clear before-and-after of our olive plants in the nursery
Our olive cuttings are thriving:
➡️ Roots have developed - the plant can now absorb water and nutrients on its own
➡️ New leaves are growing - a sign of active, healthy development
➡️ Stronger base - the cutting is stabilizing and becoming more resilient
This growth is supported by continuous care, fertilization, and upgraded environmental control systems.
A promising start to the season, with more progress ahead 💧☀️
Grateful to our partner @iaco_sy and the generous support from the @eafoundationuk 🙏
