国际美慈相信当灾难 — 不管是地震、海啸还是暴力冲突 — 来临时，青少年是最容易产生心智、身体、情感以及社会问题的群体。有组织的娱乐活动向青少年提供了一个安全稳定的环境帮助其建立常态感和稳定感，从而缓解压力和建立耐挫力。
“加油”项目通过运动、游戏等活动形式为受自然灾害或者人为灾害影响的孩子提供心理创伤康复援助。“加油”项目最初由国际美慈、耐克和CARE共同在2007年开发，经过本土化的培训材料在其他组织机构中也得到推广应用。
Mercy Corps believes when disaster strikes - whether an earthquake, hurricane or armed conflict - young survivors are especially vulnerable to intellectual, physical, emotional and social problems. Organized recreational activities provide a safe and structured environment that creates a sense of normalcy and stability, alleviates stress and builds resiliency.
The Moving Forward program was designed to use sports, games and play-based activities to help children deal with the grief and trauma caused by natural and man-made disasters. Moving Forward was initially developed by Mercy Corps, Nike and CARE in 2007 and training materials have since been adapted and made available to other organizations for their use.
