| Your gift can help us go 2x as far to support young people during this time of crisis ▸ |
From now until midnight tomorrow, your gift can help us meet our Tripadvisor Foundation Matching Gift Challenge. These are uncertain times for all of us, and especially for small business owners. But creative entrepreneurs are finding ways not only to adapt to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, but to use their skills for the greater good. In Somalia, Mercy Corps’ vocational training has helped young people gain tailoring skills — they are now sewing and selling protective masks for their community. In Jordan and Lebanon, our small business programs have helped textile industry entrepreneurs to pivot operations by adding masks to their offerings. And in Nepal, young women like Rajani are not letting lockdowns slow them down. After building her own tailoring shop — with skills gained through Mercy Corps’ educational program — Rajani has embarked on sewing masks for her community’s mental health facility. Until tomorrow at midnight, you can make a tax-deductible gift as part of our $30,000 Tripadvisor Foundation Matching Gift Challenge. Right now, will you help us raise $30,000 and match this generous support from the Tripadvisor Foundation? 
Women and girls at Mercy Corps’ Somalia vocational center are playing an indispensable role in the fight against COVID-19 by applying their training to sew masks for local distribution.
Local efforts to help communities are as essential as they are inspiring. Communities flourish when they are healthy and have access to resources, which is why all of us must unite and help our global community. Our teams are working to expand comprehensive market-based solutions to local economies affected by the pandemic, providing grants and working with lenders to lower payments. When you join us, your generous support can help young people like Rajani prepare for and recover from the economic shocks that can push people further into crisis. Whatever you’re able to give can make a difference. By donating during the Tripadvisor Foundation Matching Gift Challenge, you can help us make twice the impact for young people and millions of others as they face the devastating effects of COVID-19 and other crises. Even during this pandemic there is possibility. Together, we can make a real impact for people living in crisis. If you can, please make a gift today. Thank you, 
Adrienne Karecki, Mercy Corps Chief Development and Marketing Officer |
