There are three reasons why your gift today is so important. First, it
helps sustain our efforts to help vulnerable communities become more
climate resilient. Second, donations to Mercy Corps help provide food,
water, and other essentials for families facing extreme hunger. And third,
gifts right now can make change that lasts for generations by helping
people grow their skills and their livelihoods.

Hi there —
it’s Tjada.

In just a few days, Mercy Corps will close out our fiscal year, and I want
to share something important with you.

As I reflect on the work that our teams and partners have done over the
past 12 months thanks to supporters like you, I’m reminded of two things:

First, I’m reminded that together we’re able to meet the needs of families
who are suffering from the most unimaginable conditions. From millions of
families facing mass displacement and constant bombardment in Gaza, to
millions of people facing hunger and the harshest effects of climate
change in the Horn of Africa, our impact has reached people in some of the
most dangerous and remote places.

Mercy Corps team strategizing to distribute hygiene kits and other
non-food items to address the basic needs of displaced people in Lebanon.


We’ve urgently responded in countries struck by earthquakes, flash floods,
and violent conflicts. At the same time, we also sustained our year-round
efforts working to build entrepreneurial skills so people can start their
own business, grow agricultural skills so farmers can feed their
communities, foster peacebuilding skills so communities can resolve their
conflicts, and so much more.

Second, I’m hopeful about the future. As challenging as the past year has
been, with such urgent news and unimaginable need, I’m as committed as
ever to continuing Mercy Corps’ mission to go beyond responding to
emergencies but also to work with local governments, corporations, and
people living in the communities to create bold solutions that make
long-lasting change in the 40+ countries where we work.

[ [link removed] ]On a recent visit to Indonesia, I met with inspiring young
  entrepreneurs who are working to grow their business in the coffee  
industry.
 


Recently, I traveled to some of the places where Mercy Corps teams and
programs are making a real difference in people's lives. I met with women
who told me how difficult it was to break through the coffee industry in
Indonesia. But with Mercy Corps training and support, they’ve become
entrepreneurs, growing their businesses while working on coffee farms.

In Colombia, I saw how families who learned beekeeping through our
programs are producing honey, earning a living, and providing
environmental benefits to their communities.

In Nigeria, where we’re helping people monitor and report early signs of
conflict, I sat in on a Mercy Corps conflict resolution training in order
to promote peace within communities.


I am so grateful for
you and the generous community who show up consistently for families
facing hardship around the world.

[ [link removed] ]With just six days left before our June 30 fiscal year deadline, will
you make a gift to power our work to create brighter futures for
communities around the globe throughout the year ahead?

Sincerely,

Tjada D’Oyen McKenna,
Mercy Corps Chief Executive Officer
