When people face disaster, we help. You can too. Give now




As some countries inch closer to vaccinating the majority of their populations, the catastrophic second wave of COVID‑19 in Southern Asia is a sobering reminder that we are nowhere near eradicating this global threat. Mercy Corps is working in Nepal to help communities bordering India as COVID‑19 cases rise at an alarming pace. Infection rates in Nepal are now at over 40%, up drastically from just 2% in March, and hospitals are reporting severe shortages of beds and oxygen supplies.

Please make a gift to Mercy Corps’ COVID‑19 Resilience Fund today, to help provide emergency supplies, food, clean water, and urgently needed support to families and communities at risk globally, during this crisis and beyond.

Christie Getman, Mercy Corps Country Director in Nepal shares what she’s seeing:

"The communities we are working with are petrified. They have seen their friends and family members in India fall ill, many tragically dying, and now are seeing the very same situation hit Nepal."

Mercy Corps teams in Nepal are helping communities by providing masks, clean water, COVID‑19 education, and emergency cash vouchers. Mercy Corps has worked in Nepal since 2005, supporting communities adapting to the impacts of the climate crisis, improving access to food, and increasing opportunities for young people and women. Last year we reached nearly one million people in Nepal, including over 400,000 with emergency COVID‑19 support.

Around the globe, we are working alongside people facing the world’s most formidable challenges to help protect against COVID‑19, meet immediate needs, and prepare for the devastating impact of economic shock that will push people further into crisis.

Your gift today to Mercy Corps’ COVID‑19 Resilience Fund can help provide relief including emergency cash, hygiene supplies, clean water, and long-term support to communities in places like Nepal, Jordan, Somalia, and around the world. Please give today.
