MCC’s involvement in Myanmar (Burma) goes back to the 1960s, when it first partnered with local churches and organizations to support community development and education.
 
However, MCC’s formal country program was established more fully in the early 1990s, focusing on humanitarian aid, peacebuilding, health initiatives, and disaster response in a country deeply affected by armed conflict and political instability.

Over the next few weeks, I am continuing to highlight the work of MCC in areas experiencing war and starvation. This week, the focus is Haiti.
 
The Mennonite Central Committee has been actively working in Haiti since 1958, partnering with local organizations to support some of the country’s most vulnerable communities. Their work spans a wide range of humanitarian and development efforts, especially in response to Haiti’s ongoing challenges with political instability, violence, and natural disasters.
