More than 795 million people around the world are experiencing hunger right now. It’s a number that’s hard to imagine, including for me. I see firsthand the importance of proper nutrition — especially for kids to succeed in school — here in Kyrgyzstan where I serve as Director of Programs.

Today, your support can help us go 2x as far as we continue working side-by-side with communities to address the root causes of hunger, thanks to a group of generous donors. They’ve contributed $400,000 to our Matching Gift Challenge Fund to encourage supporters like you to match their gifts.

Will you make a gift before our challenge ends tomorrow at midnight? This is an important goal that will help set us up for a strong 2022.
Multiply your impact ▸
Since 2017, Mercy Corps has helped provide over 22.5 million hot meals in Kyrgyzstan primary schools.
Hunger has multiple causes — and multiple solutions. That’s why we work closely with communities to tailor an approach that works best for them.

In Kyrgyzstan, for example, fruits and vegetables are often damaged by insects and pollution caused by outdoor drying. Mercy Corps helps communities and schools preserve food using dehydrators, so that students have access to nutritious meals throughout the year, including during the winter months when harvests are low.

In the 40+ countries where we serve, we’re committed to working with communities to address the underlying causes of hunger and malnutrition. We know you’re here to help too.

Please consider making a matching, tax-deductible gift today to help us respond to ongoing challenges like global hunger in the year ahead. We welcome donations by credit card, PayPal, and Apple Pay.
