Dear friend,
Today on #GivingTuesday, I’m extremely thankful for everyone who makes our mission possible — including our team, the community members we partner with, and you. As I begin my second year as Mercy Corps CEO, I believe that with each of you by our side, we can make 2022 our most impactful year yet.
Our work has never been more necessary than it is right now. Take the issue of hunger. Right now, more than 795 million people are experiencing hunger, with at least 528 million living in countries in which Mercy Corps serves. And we know that the pandemic is making the situation more dire for families around the world.
As
a member of our global community,
your gift to Mercy Corps makes such a critical difference. And today, you can help people in more than 40 countries to better face their toughest challenges – including the effects of hunger, conflict, COVID-19, and climate change – and build stronger, healthier communities from within.

People like Hadiara in Niger have an opportunity to thrive amid the challenges they face every day. By providing seeds, livestock, and agricultural training, we’re improving families’ ability to help their children grow up healthy and strong. Mercy Corps works in partnership with communities like Hadiara’s to provide sustained assistance.
While our team members provide crucial aid in countries across the globe, you’re also a critical partner in this life-changing work — right where you are.
A group of generous supporters has contributed to our Matching Gift Challenge Fund to encourage compassionate people like you to match their gifts. Make your #GivingTuesday matching gift now.
