The significant reduction in foreign aid budgets by the U.S. and other countries earlier this year has left many workers with fewer resources, even in the face of mounting needs in the communities they serve. This year alone, more than 265 aid workers have lost their lives, following 2024’s record-breaking toll of more than 380 deaths. Despite these facts, our teams work tirelessly to ensure communities are healthy, safe, and thriving. I am humbled and honored by their dedication every day. Today, on World Humanitarian Day, I invite you to send a message of support to our extraordinary team members who have devoted their lives to helping others. Will you take a moment to express your gratitude?
More than 95% of our team members are from the countries they serve, giving them unique insights into the communities’ needs, strengths, and assets. With over 4,000 team members in 35+ countries, I’m constantly inspired by their swift response to crises, their collaboration with local communities, and their unwavering commitment to improving lives. Today, we pay tribute to these humanitarians and compassionate individuals like you who empower them to do their vital work. Together, we’re saving lives, rebuilding communities, and shaping a brighter future. Please take a moment to thank our team for their tireless efforts. Your words of inspiration are needed now. Thank you, Tjada D’Oyen McKenna CEO, Mercy Corps |
