	Mercy Corps
		Mercy Corps has been in the forefront of those working toward both immediate and long-term recovery in response to last month’s disaster in Asia, where the death toll was approximately 230,000 dead or missing; 500,000 who have lost their homes and many family members; thousands more who have lost their livelihoods, and a devastated infrastructure.
		Mercy Corps' innovative "Cash for Work" program is paying thousands of villagers a daily wage to clean up their communities, build simple bridges so they can reach their homes to salvage anything remaining, clean out schools so the children can resume their normal activities and move fishing boats back to the sea.
		Mercy Corps is giving soft loans and technical assistance to revitalize old businesses (repairing fishing boats and brick making kilns) and to develop new enterprises (such as recycling wood debris to make pallets for recovery efforts).
