A LETTER FROM THE LEADERSHIP TEAM

Dear Friends, In this report — which marks the 25th anniversary of Mercy Corps’ founding — we celebrate the courage and determination of our partners around the world. Every minute of every day, someone, somewhere is n the briefest of moments and without warning, lives can be forever altered and the world irrevocably fighting for a dream. Clean water, food, and health care for their children. New skills and better jobs. An changed.

In Banda Aceh, — a city nearly erased from the map — the dream was to re-open schools As the unimaginable unfolded, it was impossible not to be inspired by the televised images of ordinary one month after the tsunami hit. On December 26, with most schools in ruins, this seemed an outlandish people risking their lives — for loved ones, neighbors, friends, and often strangers. goal. But 31 days later, thousands of schoolchildren — some laughing and joyful, some still deep in trauma For every victim, there were dozens of heroes. — filed into makeshift classrooms. School was open. The dream had been forged into life. Equally heartening was the outpouring of support organizations We see such stories again and again all over the world — stories of courageous people overcoming like Mercy Corps received from individual donors, corporations, impossible odds. Mercy Corps exists to unleash that courage. foundations, faith communities, and governments worldwide.

JAMES NACHTWEY

The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was an event that altered the way we see the world. More than one-quarter of a million people were killed because of this — the largest ever in recorded history — and hundreds of thousands more lost their homes and families.

James Nachtwey traveled to Indonesia to record the aftermath of the tsunami disaster. We present his images here.

48 48 victim or hero Inspiration: Everyday Heroes A group of men and women in Banda Aceh perform backbreaking work to rebuild a school for their community’s children. Their world has been swept away, but their courage has not. Their dreams have been deferred, but they have not been erased. They are not victims of a tsunami; they are their community’s hopes and dreams. They are a better future. Within hours of the worst natural disaster in modern times — the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami — Mercy Corps was on the ground in Indonesia, Sri Lanka and India working side by side with survivors to rebuild their lives. Our initial programs concentrated on meeting the health, shelter and food needs of 150,000 displaced individuals — especially children. But we never lost sight of the fact that the right kind of assistance at the right time can unleash the ability of people to overcome unimaginable circumstances. Our emergency > > >

His dream is to become a doctor and help the people in his village. A widowed mother works 16 hours a day running a small food shop under the stairwell in front of her home. Her dream is to be able to afford to send her five children to college. A man risks his life each day crossing through a war zone to treat those injured by the conflict at a health clinic. His dream is peace for his people. Unachievable dreams — or amazing acts of human courage? In the communities where Mercy Corps works, the enduring will of the human spirit is alive and at work each day. From the remote villages of Africa to the crowded slums of Central America, we are both awed and inspired by the power of people to triumph over adversity. > > >

But we know that it is not enough to just help people survive. We want them to thrive. We believe that with the right kinds of assistance we can help people transform their societies. We know that by being agile and flexible in our response, we can increase our impact as community needs change. In Darfur, Sudan, Mercy Corps is providing lifesaving water and sanitation assistance for tens of thousands of families displaced by violence. In addition to building hundreds of latrines in refugee camps, we instituted a hygiene education campaign that trains residents about proper waste disposal. > > >

In countries devastated by years of conflict, communities reeling from natural disasters, and regions facing social upheaval, we see opportunity instead of despair. Our faith lies in the ability of communities to transform from within to forge a better tomorrow. Our experience has shown that it is only when communities set their own agendas and plans, raise their own resources and execute programs themselves, that their success will result in the renewed confidence and skills necessary to create their own lasting change.
