Dear friend,
There’s a silent crisis going on that we don’t talk about enough. Though you can’t see it, it’s crucial to building healthy and resilient communities. We’re talking about mental health.
Throughout the world, people are struggling with deteriorating mental health and loneliness amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. So our teams decided to get creative in addressing this crisis.
In Lebanon, we worked with local organizations to create a digital campaign that spoke honestly about the uncertain and emotional experience we’re all living through. Using videos and social media posts, we showed people all over Lebanon that they’re not alone in their struggles. These messages resonated deeply with community members and reminded them of the importance of taking care of their mental health.
Our video series helped community members in Lebanon build connection during an unprecedented time: "It’s so important because it gave us a sense of humanity."
We know that you care about the physical and mental wellbeing of families and communities outside of your own, and your presence in this community is proof. Today, your generosity can be multiplied when you become a monthly giver. Sign up for the first time now, and your monthly commitment will be matched 12x by a generous donor, up to $50,000. We’ve set a goal to reach that target by October 31 — start your monthly giving today.
Managing the long-term effects of poor or inadequate mental health care requires sustained support, and monthly giving allows us to reinforce programs like the one in Lebanon that are working to bring fractured communities together.
Plus, automatic donations reduce our administrative costs, meaning more of each dollar goes towards helping people around the world facing mental, physical, economic, societal, or environmental crises. Become a monthly giver today and your monthly commitment will be matched 12x.
With your committed support, Mercy Corps can continue creating innovative solutions that help families lead healthy and full lives, even in times of uncertainty.
With gratitude,
The Mercy Corps team
