I want to share the
story of Omar, a father of eight children.

Since 1995, he has worked as a miller in his home country of Ethiopia,
grinding maize, sorghum, barley, and wheat for his community. That work
has not been easy.

The community had no reliable electricity — people would go to nearby
towns for grinding services — leaving Omar with very little work and low
income. As a head of household, he struggled to earn enough for his kids'
education. Drought also impacted his business — less rain meant fewer
crops to grind and less business for Omar.

This all changed when Mercy Corps connected Omar to solar-powered energy.

Today, your support can make a life-changing difference for a father,
husband, and small business owner like Omar. Whether in communities
impacted by war, poverty, or other crises, you can make DOUBLE the impact
for families like Omar’s in urgent need. [ [link removed] ]Make a 2X matched gift now.

Challenge today and TWICE as far for families in need today ▸

With support from people like you, Omar was able to relocate his business
from a small shack to a Mercy Corps-supported hub with a dependable source
of electricity and new energy-efficient milling machines.

With a reliable source of energy, business has improved. Overall, his
income has increased by approximately 30% — helping him pay for his kids’
education.

I’ve been able to
witness the impact Mercy Corps makes on families, businesses, and
communities like Omar.

With your gift today, you can help us change the lives of more families in
35+ countries around the world. [ [link removed] ]Donate to our Matching Gift Challenge
before December 31, and your gift can go TWICE as far.
