It’s World Humanitarian Day!
Around the globe, our team of 5,400+ amazing humanitarians work to deliver lifesaving support and partner with communities in some of the world’s most challenging environments.
As we celebrate World Humanitarian Day, will you take a moment to send a message of thanks to our extraordinary team members who have dedicated their lives to helping others?
Being a humanitarian means making a commitment to ensuring people, families, and entire communities are safe, healthy, and have enough food, clean water, and economic opportunities.
Rosbella Elanae, a community health volunteer at a Mercy Corps-supported clinic in Kenya, sits with a program participant. Rosbella says she is motivated by her belief that all mothers should be able to make sure their children are healthy.
At Mercy Corps, we’re committed to creating global change through local impact — 84% of our team members are from the countries where we work. Our colleagues are often affected by the same challenges as the people we serve — persevering through the aftermath of earthquakes, drought, or conflict.
Mercy Corps team member Odette Kasindi Asha talks to displaced families awaiting cash assistance in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Odette’s passion for helping others is based on her own past experience as a displaced person.
We are so grateful for all that our team members, volunteers, and local partners do for families around the world. With the combined efforts of our team, supporters like you and the communities we serve — we have the power to create a better tomorrow.
Yours in possibility,
All of us at Mercy Corps
