After she lost everything in a flood two years ago, Eysa is rebuilding her life with Mercy Corps’ help.
Prolonged drought followed by torrential rains made the river rise and swept away the houses along the river’s bank. She and her children went without food for five days and slept underneath a bridge while they looked for a safe place to stay. Two years later, with help from Mercy Corps, Eysa is running a successful small business and rebuilding her life. As climate and conflict wreak havoc across the world, families like Eysa’s are counting on you — and right now, your gift can go 2X as far. A group of generous donors has contributed $142,000 to our Matching Gift Challenge Fund to encourage compassionate people to match their gifts. When your gift is combined with theirs, it will help Mercy Corps go TWICE as far for communities in crisis. She now makes a strong living — saving nearly a quarter of her profits each month — and creating a better future for her children. Communities across the globe — especially those that have been historically marginalized — continue to be strained by crises that wither progress and stability. But, together, we can plant the seeds of lasting change. Your matching gift can help us cultivate TWICE the possibility and support for people in 40+ countries — donate now ▸ Sincerely, The Mercy Corps team
P.S. We know you’re hearing a lot from us these days. The reason is simple: Every dollar we raise right now helps the people we work with protect their families and improve their lives. If you’ve already made your gift (thank you!) or would rather not get our year-end emails, click here to pause email until January.
