More than 56,000 members of our community have generously donated to support Mercy Corps’ work in 2023 so far — and the year is nearly halfway through! We would love to welcome you into our global community of supporters. Please consider making your very first donation to Mercy Corps — today! The generosity of our supporters is vital to providing humanitarian assistance in places like Ukraine, Syria, and Somalia. With your support, we can help respond when emergencies strike — and help communities recover and rebuild in the months that follow. — The Mercy Corps team ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mary @ Mercy Corps <[email protected]> Date: Monday, June 26, 2023 at 9:09 AM Subject: Your mid-year giving statement |
Dear friend, At the start of 2023, humanitarian need had risen to an all-time high — a record 339 million people worldwide were in need of humanitarian assistance. So far in 2023, a massive earthquake struck Turkey and Syria, violent clashes broke out in Sudan, violence has escalated in Ukraine, and the Horn of Africa is facing another failed rainy season. But the unprecedented challenges of the first half of the year were met with the compassion and generosity of our supporters, the dedication of our team members, and the strength of the communities where we work. From all of us here at Mercy Corps, thank you for your commitment to building a more resilient, inclusive future where everyone can prosper.
Your support is an important part of helping us meet this moment. Please make your first gift of 2023 before June 30 to help us respond quickly in emergencies and create lasting solutions for a more equitable world. Our teams — more than 5,900 strong — in more than 40 countries around the globe are ready to take on whatever comes next, and we are so grateful to know that this generous community will be by their side. With gratitude, Mary Stata Mercy Corps Chief Development Officer |
