Better World is partnering with Mercy Corps in an effort to raise $2M in private relief funds in 2 months to respond quickly with water, food and emergency supplies. These supplies are needed over the next six months to help nearly 700,000 Iraqis displaced by war.

Mercy Corps is currently on the ground providing medical assistance, shelter and social care to over 300,000 displaced people in northern Iraq. Mercy Corps is one of the most effective relief agencies in the world. Mercy Corps staff provides developmental assistance to some of the world's poorest regions--and sees environmental needs as being consistent with their developmental plans. (In other words, they don't buy into the economic fiction that environmental concerns are "anti-market".)
