When hurricanes Eta and Iota hit Central America, Mercy
Corps’ Guatemala team was there, distributing emergency supplies. After
the explosion in Beirut, we helped small businesses survive a fractured
economy. And in 2020, our COVID-19 response has reached over 15 million
people across the globe.

And the reason I’m truly proud to be a part of the Mercy Corps global
team? Because behind every act of service are the smart, compassionate
individuals who risk everything to help. Team members like these:

Hilal (above) coordinates operations and emergency response for our teams
in India and Thailand. He says, "I dreamed of becoming a humanitarian when
I was a child and would see humanitarian aid workers in my neighborhood
reaching out to the people and impacting their lives in a positive way."

This is a team member whose name we can’t share. Due to security risks in
Syria, they must remain anonymous. Like 85 percent of our team members,
including myself, this person is from the country where they work. While
this is part of our commitment to global change through local impact, it
also means that many of us are experiencing the same crises as those we
serve.

Here in my home country of Nigeria, a land with more than 250 ethnic
groups and 500 languages, communication and respect for diversity is
essential to our work as a Mercy Corps team. We ensure that 100,000+
people every month have enough food to eat, and we construct shelters for
displaced persons affected by the conflict in northeast Nigeria. I’ve seen
my fellow team members face threats from insurgency groups, and navigate
insecure roads to reach distant communities, just to help people rebuild
their homes, businesses and lives.

And the same kind of courage is happening in more than 40 countries where
we serve. Our nearly 6,000 team members work side by side with people
living through poverty, disaster, violent conflict and the acute impacts
of climate change.

Before 12/31/2020, [ [link removed] ]please send your message of gratitude, hope or
encouragement to Mercy Corps team members across the globe. Messages will
be compiled and shared with our country directors, to help their teams
welcome in the new year. Your message can let them know that their work is
not taken for granted.
