Today marks one year since the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. We set a $35,000 fundraising to reach by midnight tonight, to help people living in fragile places around the world protect themselves against COVID-19, hunger and other threats. Will you make a first-time gift today and help us reach our goal? Despite the uncertainty that we’ve all faced over the past year, Mercy Corps supporters, partners and the communities we work with have come together to help protect the world’s most vulnerable people against COVID-19, meet immediate needs and deal with the devastating economic impacts of the pandemic, which has pushed millions of people further into crisis. Now, with the promise of COVID-19 vaccines, we collectively face the defining challenge of 2021: Getting the vaccine to everyone, everywhere — including people who live in refugee camps and hard-to-reach areas. Transporting and distributing vaccines around the world will create a massive logistical challenge, but that’s just part of the equation. Mass vaccination will also require a coordinated, collaborative effort to build trust in the vaccine and the governments who will provide it, particularly in areas mired by conflict and chronic poverty. Mercy Corps has decades of experience building relationships within communities in over 40 countries. Your gift today could help Mercy Corps support the global vaccination effort by empowering people with the facts they need to make informed decisions about protecting their health. Here are just a few examples of this work in action:
It’s an enormous challenge, and it can only be accomplished when we all work together. Be a part of our lifesaving work with your gift today, and help us reach our $35,000 fundraising goal by midnight tonight. Sincerely, 
Adrienne Karecki, Mercy Corps Chief Development and Marketing Officer |
