Did you know that of the 828 million people affected by hunger around the world, 3 in 5 are women and girls?
Climate change, economic insecurity, conflict, and the war in Ukraine have created the worst food shortage in a generation — and women and girls are bearing the brunt of the crisis. When food is scarce, women often skip meals to sacrifice for their families.
From distributing cash assistance to help families afford groceries to building irrigation systems to help farmers grow crops, Mercy Corps is responding by working with communities — and women in particular — to meet urgent food needs and create more inclusive and resilient food systems.
Your support is critical to helping women and their families worldwide overcome hunger, water insecurity, poverty, and conflict. Plus, every dollar you give to Mercy Corps is combined with an average of $4 in public grants to multiply our impact for communities in 40+ countries.
Will you make a gift today to make 5X the impact for families in crisis?
After Mercy Corps restored access to clean water in Zahra’s village in northeastern Syria, she can cook dinner for her family with vegetables she grows in her garden.
By targeting resources to women and girls, Mercy Corps is working to end the generational cycle of hunger so new possibilities can take root.
