Dear friend,

Sometimes, getting clean water is as simple as turning on the faucet. But for the 1 in 3 people around the world who lack access to clean water, it’s much more difficult, time-consuming, and often dangerous.

In many communities where Mercy Corps works, women and girls devote hours each day to gathering clean water, risking their health and safety.

No one should have to risk their livelihood for access to clean water. Will you take just a moment and sign our pledge supporting access to clean water for all?
Sign the pledge ▸
Katangu in DRC
Katungu Masimengo Sarah is the treasurer of her community group, which promotes disease prevention to friends and neighbors. She fills her container at a water point built by Mercy Corps in Democratic Republic of Congo.
In rural DRC, a lack of resources and infrastructure makes families more vulnerable to illness and disease, like the country’s recent Ebola epidemic and the ongoing COVID‑19 pandemic. Water points and latrines improve safe access to clean water and sanitation.

Around the world, we work with women and communities to create tailored solutions to water access — from installing safety light panels in latrines in Syria, to constructing girls’ toilet facilities in Nepali schools.

Will you sign our pledge today to support the right to clean water for all?

Last year, our efforts to support clean water and sanitation reached more than 13 million people in 29 countries. Together, we can continue to make an impact for the communities we serve in the months to come.

Sincerely,

The Mercy Corps team
