Dear friend,

Violent conflict, climate change, and rising costs of living — many countries across the globe face these challenges that can leave millions of families hungry.

Mercy Corps helps communities address food insecurity by building sustainable food systems. That means families are able to produce nutritious food and sell the surplus to cover other needs.

Fighting hunger requires all of our effort, resources, and commitment to ensure families and communities can grow their own food, provide for themselves, and live healthy, prosperous lives. On this World Food Day, will you pledge your support to help combat hunger?

As we celebrate this year’s World Food Day, we wanted to share stories from three countries where Mercy Corps is helping families and communities:
Sudan
     
In Sudan, Mercy Corps provides farmers with seeds and fertilizers as they work to improve food security in the region.
 
Sudanese families are currently in the midst of a violent conflict that has led to mass displacement and severe disruptions to food production, causing acute hunger for more than 25 million people.

Mercy Corps is ensuring farmers have access to seeds, fertilizer, and other agricultural supplies to help boost food production. We are also supporting the recovery of agricultural markets by providing access to cash, credit, and warehousing assistance to farmers, and improving farmers’ safety by removing explosive remnants of war in agricultural areas.
Mauritania
     
In Mauritania, a significant challenge to food production has led to widespread hunger for families. Mauritania relies on agriculture, yet only 0.4% of its land is suitable for food production as most of its surface is covered by desert. More than 650,000 people, representing around 14% of the population have been projected to experience food insecurity this fall.
 
Mercy Corps is supporting Mauritanian farmers with cash assistance to buy climate-resilient seeds and farming equipment. Mercy Corps is also helping farmers hire more workers, allowing them to cultivate more soil and yield more crops.
Nigeria
     
In Nigeria, Mercy Corps helps ginger farmers increase productivity and income and build long-term financial stability and resilience.
 
Conflict and displacement in Nigeria has been a driving force of hunger for many families across the country. More than 25 million people in Nigeria face acute levels of hunger.

Mercy Corps is helping ginger farmers in Nigeria with training sessions on sustainable farming practices. With this new knowledge, farmers are able to increase productivity, yield more crops, sell more in the markets, and make money to buy ingredients for cooking and a balanced diet.

Hunger poses a threat to the lives of more than 733 million people around the world. But through dedicated effort, sustainable food solutions, and commitment from supporters like you, we’re able to produce more food.

On World Food Day, will you make a symbolic pledge to combat hunger and increase access to food for families worldwide?
