...and together, we can have up to 5x the impact to help ▸



Around the world, families are doing the best they can to confront devastating challenges like conflict, poverty and natural disasters. Our teams are telling us that rapidly spreading COVID-19 will make these challenges so much worse.

We’re already helping at-risk communities around the world—more than 7.7 million people last year—to access soap and clean water for hand washing, and providing support for other vital hygiene and sanitation needs. Improved hygiene practices could help save people from a debilitating disease outbreak where they live, but we need to do more — and be ready for anything. You can help.

Make a gift today and together, we can have up to 5 TIMES THE IMPACT. Since 2015, Mercy Corps has been able to raise an average of $4 in government and foundation grants compared to every $1 in individual gifts. Your gift today will be combined with grants from other sources, enabling us to provide even more lifesaving assistance to people in desperate circumstances.

Your gift can make a difference in so many ways around the world. Here are just three examples of what Mercy Corps supporters have helped make possible:

Democratic Republic of Congo

Martine shows her daughter Christine hand washing techniques she learned at a health center in DR Congo. Mercy Corps Project Ebola Response provided training and supplies to help stem the epidemic.
 

Help families get the hygiene supplies and support they need to stay safe from deadly diseases, including COVID-19.


In Northern Yemen, many people have fled conflict to areas where water is scarce and requires hours of walking to collect. When Mercy Corps built a solar-powered pump, families had a safer, less labor-intensive way to get clean water, vital for sanitation and hygiene.

Help vulnerable communities across the world survive crisis.

The Bahamas

In The Bahamas after Hurricane Dorian, Mercy Corps partnered to install a reverse osmosis water desalination system. Reliable access to clean water helps protect already vulnerable communities during the current COVID-19 crisis.

As COVID-19 continues to spread around the world, it is now reaching countries most vulnerable to the health and economic impact of the virus. While we are all facing uncertainty, now is not the time to wait. There are so many reasons to give, especially when, together, we can have up to five times the impact for families and communities in more than 40 countries where Mercy Corps works.

Make a gift and help us reach our fundraising goal of $88,000 by March 31.

Thank you for all you do to help people and families around the world.

Sincerely,
