Mercy Beyond Borders (MBB) is an international nonprofit forging ways for women and girls in extreme poverty to learn, connect, and lead. We tailor our approach to the realities of local cultures while keeping our mission constant. Through MBB, women and girls learn that they matter. We move them beyond extreme poverty by supporting their education, connecting them with one another, and equipping them with the tools to become leaders advocating for positive change. We are currently working in South Sudan, Haiti, Uganda, Kenya and have recently expanded into Malawi. Our programs include: scholarships, safe housing, micro-enterprise, literacy classes and leadership workshops.
