Mercy Corps alleviates suffering, poverty and oppression by helping people build secure, productive and just communities. The Rex Foundation Award is in support of work in Western Sudan’s Darfur region, where Mercy Corps is providing essential humanitarian assistance to approximately 89,000 internally displaced Sudanese in the Zalingie corridor, where hundreds of thousands have fled to seek refuge from violence.

More than 160 agency staff are striving to save lives and alleviate suffering in the Hessa-Hissa, Hamidiya and Mukjar refugee camps by improving sanitation and hygiene, distributing relief items, providing protection and skill-building activities for women and creating safe places for children to learn and play.
