The toughest challenges demand the boldest ideas.

That’s why Mercy Corps identifies ideas that can break through cycles of
poverty and deliver benefits to millions of people in the developing
world.

Our COVID‑19 response worldwide includes the installation of hand-washing
stations (like this one in Indonesia), mask distribution and community
outreach.
With the emergence of COVID‑19 in the Southeast Asian nation of
Timor-Leste, it became crucial for the country to adopt disease prevention
measures like hand-washing. But nearly three in four people lack access to
facilities with soap and water. Many critical sites around Dili lacked
necessary hand-washing stations, especially at the entrances to important
buildings.

Timor-Leste also faces a huge pollution problem, with 1 billion plastic
bags and 125 million plastic bottles discarded every year. Much of the
plastic waste is found washed up on beaches.

In response, Mercy Corps teams, in partnership with the Plastic Solutions
Alliance, helped turn one problem into a solution by converting discarded
plastic water bottles into public hand-washing stations, made from more
than 100,000 recycled plastic bottles so far.

We’ve set a goal to raise $100,000 by October 30 to fund more innovative
solutions like this, and to help people across the world who are facing
poverty, conflict and hunger. [ [link removed] ]Will you help reach our goal with a

Thanks in part to humanitarians like you,

people vulnerable to the spread of COVID‑19 in Timor-Leste now have access
to clean water, which is also providing an environmentally safe way to
recycle plastic waste to help protect the beautiful island nation’s
environment and marine life.

saving lives and protecting our planet — possible. [ [link removed] ]Make a gift today —
