There are only two days left in 2021. That means we’re running out of time to reach our most important fundraising goal of the year.
A group of generous donors has contributed $400,000 to encourage supporters like you to match their gifts. We hope you’ll take advantage of this December Matching Gift Challenge with a gift before midnight on New Year’s Eve.
Your gift can help us respond quickly when we’re needed, like when the Mt. Nyiragongo volcano erupted earlier this year. The searing lava cut off water for more than 550,000 people in my country, the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Since our team members — most of them from the DRC like me — were already in place, Mercy Corps was able to respond immediately to avoid a secondary crisis, bringing in tanker trucks with 235,000 liters of drinking water.
Following the DRC’s Mt. Nyiragongo volcanic eruption in May, Mercy Corps provided water to more than 31,000 people in the area.
From the foot of the Mt. Nyiragongo volcano to displacement camps in Syria and Ethiopia, Mercy Corps is committed to improving water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) around the world. But we can’t do that without the support of everyone in our global community — including you. Please make your tax-deductible gift today. We welcome donations by credit card, Paypal, and Apple Pay.
Thank you for your generosity,

We know you’re hearing a lot from us these days. The reason is simple: Every dollar we raise right now helps the people we work with protect their families and improve their lives. If you’ve already made your gift (thank you!) or would rather not get our year-end emails, click here to stop receiving email until January.
