Tomorrow is World Human Rights
Day, which has an even greater meaning as recent headlines underscore
urgent crises happening in many places around the globe.

Millions lack access to water, food, and other basic needs in Gaza.
Heating infrastructure has been targeted in Ukraine amid frigid
temperatures. Flash flooding across the Horn of Africa has displaced more
people and exacerbated food insecurity and poor water access.

Mercy Corps helps people worldwide have access to the basic human rights
of clean water, adequate sanitation, healthy food, and peace and security.

[ Shamsa ]Shamsa in Somalia
In Somalia, Shamsa fills her jerrycan with water from a tap installed by
Mercy Corps in a displacement camp for people driven from their home by
the ongoing severe drought.


While the complex challenges facing the world can seem
overwhelming, Mercy Corps knows a brighter tomorrow depends on what we do
today. We take action by partnering with communities to cultivate locally
led and sustainable solutions to crises that threaten progress, stability,
and human rights. Here are just a few examples:


  Right to clean water and sanitation: In Somalia, people have faced
several years of extreme drought followed by flooding which depleted
or contaminated water sources. Mercy Corps is rehabilitating boreholes
  and installing clean water taps in villages and camps for displaced
people, distributing hygiene items like soap and women’s sanitary
products, and delivering cash assistance for families to buy what they
need.
 
  Right to work: In Afghanistan, high levels of internal displacement
and cross-border returns, along with one of the fastest growing and
youngest populations in the world has put a strain on already limited
  resources, work opportunities, and basic services. Mercy Corps is
providing vocational training to displaced people as well as women,
youth, and people with disabilities to improve their skill sets,
create new economic opportunities, and increase the income of young
people and families.
 
  Right to own property: In the Democratic Republic of Congo, women are
  often deprived of their land rights limiting their economic security
and futures. Mercy Corps is helping women obtain official land titles,
giving more women power, freedom, and financial flexibility.


As crises continue to unfold across the globe, we all must do what we can
to bolster human rights and help communities as they build toward a
flourishing future.

future — please make
your tax-deductible year-end gift today.

Sincerely,
