Dear friend,
Sports have a powerful way of bringing people together. The joy, unity, and team spirit that comes with sports makes it one of the key ways that Mercy Corps helps build community around the world.
Participants practice basketball drills in our Sport for Change program in Mali.
In Liberia, for example, Mercy Corps has enrolled more than 4,600 young people in sports clubs — with 56% young women participants. The participants in these clubs have built vital life skills like communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and leadership, in an area that has limited educational and economic opportunity. Sports have also played a powerful role in helping youth heal from years of political conflict.
Learn about our sports programs in Liberia, Mali, Nepal, and Jordan on our website.
Our global humanitarian response has helped change the lives of families in 40+ countries where we work. We are so grateful to have you as part of our community.
Thank you,
The Mercy Corps team
