Dear friend,
After more than a year since the COVID‑19 pandemic halted our international photography assignments, I was thrilled to finally get back on the road this summer.
I had missed working with people and documenting stories from the communities we serve. Stories from people like Stephen, a farmer I met in Uganda, pictured below. His maize fields are vulnerable to dry spells and severe flooding which can destroy crops. Stephen participated in a Mercy Corps training to learn about drought-resistant crops and agricultural techniques. Today, his harvests have improved, and he’s better able to provide for his five children.
I’m so proud of the way our global teams and freelance photographers have captured people’s creativity and courage in this year’s top 10 photos. I hope you enjoy seeing some of the ways your support can help improve livelihoods across the globe.
Wishing you a happy and healthy new year,
