Asia

Mennonite Central Committee works in twelve Asian countries in partnership with local efforts to build a peaceful and sustainable society. The continent of Asia is often highlighted for its economic success and for its ability to weather the recent economic recession. However, much of Asia suffers from persistent poverty and growing economic disparity, which feeds and fuels ongoing conflicts throughout the continent. The work of the MCC Washington Office in advocacy to the U.S. government works to support and undergird local efforts to build peace.
