Dear friend,

Climate change is contributing to erratic weather patterns in South Sudan
that have wiped out farmers’ crops, pushed people into hunger, and
destabilized the economy.

This is the kind of havoc climate change is wreaking on communities around
the world. Mercy Corps is on the ground in South Sudan and 40+ countries
to help those most affected by climate change cope, adapt, and thrive.

You
can help us go 5X as far by making a gift today. Every $1 you give will be
combined with an average of $4 in public grants to help us make 5X the
impact where it’s needed most.

These women from South Sudan are part of a Mercy Corps-supporter farmer’s
group. By pooling their resources, they’re able to better address climate
shocks and improve crop production.


Mercy Corps is providing seeds and helping farmers form support groups in
South Sudan. In Amadi Payam, five men and 12 women began a support group,
pooling their money together to farm on the same land and work through
common challenges. But shortly before the harvest heavy rains washed away
their crops.


 
“The floods washed away all our crops and we had no harvest again last
year. Our homes were also destroyed by wind and flooding, and we had
  to relocate to higher grounds which were safe from the flood waters.”  
 
SUSAN, SOUTH SUDAN
 


Now, with seeds and training provided by Mercy Corps, this group is
farming a new area of land. They’ve used the food they’ve grown to feed
their families and any surplus is sold at the local market. The income is
put back into the group’s account and distributed to its members.

Susan is a member of this support group. She is a widow and has struggled
to provide daily basic needs for her eight children. Since joining the
group, she’s been able to pay for food, medicine, school fees, and farming
tools.

The work Mercy Corps is doing in communities affected by climate change
and conflict around the world makes a difference. And we’re stronger when
we work together — [ [link removed] ]your gift today can help our work go 5X as far in 40+
countries when we combine your gift with public grant funding.

Thank you for helping
us reach the communities that are taking the brunt of the climate crisis
and advocating for a more just world.

Sincerely,

The Mercy Corps team
