challenge today!

In a year that has challenged us on every level, where
crisis after crisis has left us wondering ‘what next?’, it’s easy to lose
sight of the fact that these challenges have been growing all along.
Climate change, division, injustice, inequality — these are the defining
global challenges of our time. And solving them means coming together.
Because no matter what we’re facing now, what’s next is up to all of us.

That’s why I’m excited to share a special opportunity brought to us by a
generous group of Mercy Corps supporters. Together, they’ve raised
$300,000 towards a Matching Gift Challenge Fund, and we’re inviting
people
like you to match their gifts.

[ [link removed] ]Are you in? It only
takes a minute to complete your matching gift ▸
Your matching gift today will help us make twice the difference in the
lives of so many people around the world. Here are just a few ways Mercy
Corps supporters are helping people thrive, even in the midst of crisis:

When climate change pushes us to our limits, we adapt. [ Kenya ]Kenya

 

Smallholder farmers in Kenya have long relied on predictable rainy seasons
to grow crops. Recently, drought conditions followed by a historic swarm
of plant-eating locusts have left many Kenyan farmers with wasted
plantings, barren fields and little food to eat.

Mercy Corps is responding to the urgent locust crisis with text messaging
programs farmers can use to share information quickly about approaching
swarms, supplementing farmers’ incomes with food and cash assistance, and
working with Kenyans to adopt modern irrigation systems. Research shows
that solar-powered water pumps can increase farmers’ production 200 to 400
percent, boosting income 200 to 600 percent.

farmers as they adapt to climate change, and so much more.

[ Gaza ]Gaza When jobs for young people are out of reach, we connect.

 

In Gaza, 70 percent of young people lack work. That’s why we focus on
technology — to provide training, education and employment opportunities.
Mercy Corps launched Gaza Sky Geeks, the region’s first startup
accelerator, co-working hub and technology incubator, where more than
2,500 young people have learned to code, develop apps and start their own
businesses.

[ [link removed] ]Your matching gift to Mercy Corps can help power more innovative
projects like Gaza Sky Geeks to help young people build a better tomorrow.

When violent conflict displaces millions of people, we [ Jordan ]Jordan
respond.

 

The Mercy Corps community has helped feed, clothe and shelter the many
millions of people displaced by the devastating conflict in Syria. More
recently, we’ve adapted our aid operations to include COVID‑19 education
and prevention, as well as treatment for emotional trauma.

Trauma is widespread among refugees, especially among children. We started
our Family Superhero program to help refugee family members manage stress,
build understanding and learn how to better support each other. The
program includes communication and confidence building games families can
play together.

Your matching gift could help refugee kids recover from trauma, and
address the emotional and social needs of families around the world.
[ [link removed] ]Please, make your year-end gift today.

And, remember, you can claim up to $300 in charitable donations this year,
even if you don’t itemize deductions, thanks to the CARES Act. There are
just nine days left to make your 2020 gift!

Together we can make a difference. Our partners, the communities we work
with, and
supporters like you make this work possible.

Thank you,

Craig Redmond
Senior Vice President of Mercy Corps Programs
