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 .
💧 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 🌱☀️
