The recent rain in the Horn of Africa should have brought relief to the 13+ million people pushed to severe hunger by the longest drought in recorded history. Instead, flash flooding washed away homes, farmland, and livestock — and with it their hopes for immediate relief from extreme weather.
For families in the Horn of Africa, and the millions of people around the world facing extreme hunger, Mercy Corps needs reliable support to meet urgent demands today — and to help families rebuild their lives and livelihoods in the months and years to come.
A monthly gift can help provide sustainable support to communities recovering from crisis. When you start today, your first month’s gift will be matched times twelve — thanks to a generous donor — to help our work go even further.
In Northeast Kenya, Mercy Corps worked with local farmers to drill a new borehole, improving water irrigation amidst severe drought.
As the drought in the Horn of Africa persists, Mercy Corps is providing immediate assistance to alleviate hunger and meet basic needs. This support includes providing clean water, dietary supplements to prevent malnutrition, and veterinary services to farmers to keep their remaining livestock alive.
Between crisis and recovery, Mercy Corps and the communities we work with are addressing today’s most urgent needs and developing long-term solutions. Our Partners In Possibility (monthly givers) help fuel these solutions. Start a monthly gift today and your first donation will be matched 12X ▸
In partnership,
