At its best, community development transforms people through an exchange of worldviews…

Inviting all Operation Mercy Members and Donors to an Online Annual General Meeting!

When the pandemic began, an idea arose among the Rahmat Publishing team to write books for children to raise COVID-19 awareness.

In January 1993, Operation Mercy signed an memoradum of understanding with a nonprofit in Tajikistan, Payvand.

One of the project leaders summarized the final result as: “It deepened our relationship with them, it gave us a great opportunity to show God’s love through all this.”

In a week’s time, on December 13th, we will celebrate St. Lucia here in Sweden, where Operation Mercy’s head office is. Let us look a little bit closer at what this young woman stood for and what links us in Operation Mercy to her and the holiday.

“As we have a team of health professional, social workers, medical doctors, nurses, pharmacists, it led itself really easily to include COVID-19 into the community health project”.

As the director of Operation Mercy there were two things that made my job particularly strange.

I recently found this poem from Rumi online and it touched me deeply because I think that here we read what hospitality really means.

How effectively has Operation Mercy responded to the COVID-19 pandemic and what role has the integration of culture sensitivity played in the level of effectiveness?

In March and the beginning of April 2020, OPM Tajikistan implemented their COVID-19 education response.

The poorest of the poor may experience all these nine causes simultaneously. My heart aches with the thought of it.

Any organisation which uses public funding to achieve its aims and objectives is bound by law to adhere to certain ‘Accounting and Reporting Standards’ – both in the countries where the funds are raised and in the countries where the funds are expensed.

In Operation Mercy, we see women. We see you because God sees you.

Since 1993, Operation Mercy has been working diligently alongside the Tajik people. We have experienced Tajik hospitality and generosity, often being offering the best of what they have. 

COVID-19 is bringing people closer and is building community because suddenly our individualism and isolation is imposed and forced.

Pregnancy and the Miracle of Life.

In the week leading up to Lucia Day we have had the opportunity to sit down and talk with some of our colleagues working in different countries and projects.

It takes a community to do community development. We do complicated … but not alone.
