A five-year civil war. A severe hunger crisis. Economic meltdown. The dual health threats of cholera and COVID‑19. These are the multiple disasters that I see people in Yemen facing right now. They need our help, and they can’t wait.

Make a gift to Mercy Corps’ Global Emergency Response Fund to help families in crisis in Yemen, and around the world. Your first gift today will help our teams to respond to emergencies without having to wait for additional funding. When lives are on the line, every second counts — that’s why this special fund is so important. With the support of new donors like you, we can make sure families around the world get the help they need, when they need it. Please, give today.

We’ve set an ambitious goal to raise $100,000 by midnight on September 30 to support these lifesaving efforts — join us.

Thanks to the generous support of donors like you, Mercy Corps has been helping people in Yemen since 2010. Right now our teams here are focused on providing access to food as well as training community health volunteers for COVID‑19 prevention, to relieve the intense suffering of people caught in the crossfire of civil war during a deadly pandemic.

Urgent Update

Give to our Global Emergency Response Fund today, and your gift will help Mercy Corps respond quickly to disasters — meeting immediate needs and seeing families through in the long term.

Here are just a few examples of how your emergency gift could make an impact not only in Yemen, but in countries facing crises around the world:

In Lebanon, our local team has launched an emergency response to provide a lifeline of economic support after the explosion that left 300,000 people homeless in Beirut.

In Syria, we’re helping families living in camps protect themselves against COVID‑19, delivering food and clean water, restoring sanitation systems, improving shelters and providing families with clothing, mattresses and other household essentials.

In Haiti, where people are facing an extreme hunger crisis, the spread of COVID‑19 and a severe hurricane season, we’re working hard to provide emergency relief, spreading awareness about COVID‑19 prevention and empowering Haitians to prepare for future disasters.

Thank you for being part of this community of humanitarians. You are making a lifesaving difference.
