As Senior Communications Advisor on the Mercy Corps Jordan team, I feel lucky to share the stories of courageous girls like Eman with you. Eman was just 10 years old when she fled from Syria to Jordan with her family. She suffered from war injuries and her right leg was amputated below the knee. Despite her challenging circumstances, Eman never lost hope. Through physical therapy she learned to walk with a new, artificial limb and enrolled in arts education through Mercy Corps’ inclusive education program. Eman’s hard work and perseverance is incredibly inspiring to me, and is illustrative of the determination that so many of the refugees living here in Jordan possess. Today, you could help someone like Eman build a stronger life for themselves and their family. And your gift could help us make up to 5x the impact. That’s because every $1 you donate is combined with an average of up to $4 in separate government and foundation funding, enabling us to provide even more lifesaving assistance to people working to overcome enormous challenges. For Eman, arts education unlocked a passion and talent for drawing, and provided a welcome outlet. She recently passed her Secondary Education exam, marking a huge accomplishment as only those who pass the exam with a good mark can apply to University. She credits her success, in part, to the relief she found in drawing.
This month marks 10 long years since the Syrian conflict began. For many families, that means 10 years of near-constant movement, 10 years of uncertainty about where they’ll live, how they’ll support themselves, and when — if ever — they’ll be able to return home. For women and girls, this can mean increased exposure to gender-based violence and a lack of opportunities to study and pursue careers of their own, as Eman has done. Mercy Corps is committed to working towards gender equality. When you give today, you could not only support our efforts to give girls more safety and better access to education — you could also help fuel our lifesaving work for people in Syria and around the world. We’ve set a goal to raise $65,000 by midnight, March 31. Give now, and together, we can help make up to 5x the impact for girls, families, and communities facing today’s biggest crises.
Thank you for partnering with Mercy Corps to help girls like Eman and other determined children, women, and men around the world create a brighter future for themselves. With gratitude, Nivina Haddaden Mercy Corps Senior Communications Advisor, Jordan |
