#GivingTuesday Matching Gift Challenge early to help ensure you can make
the most of this chance to multiply your impact.

When I visited Somalia, I met people like Hawa Issack. She has six
children of her own and cares for an additional six orphaned children.
Hawa used to be a farmer, but due to repeated seasons of drought, her
crops were failing and she was forced to leave her home to help her family
survive. She receives cash assistance from Mercy Corps, which helps her
buy rice, and also to sell fruits and vegetables to other people in the
camp. This is how she meets her family’s daily needs.

Historic drought, climate shocks, combined with global food shortages have
put Somalia on the brink of famine, with more than 7.8 million people
already facing hunger. Mercy Corps is providing humanitarian aid to almost
600,000 people in Somalia, with programming focused on water access, cash
assistance, as well as support for children’s education.

[ [link removed] ]You can help make this kind of impact possible for families in 40+
countries with a generous #GivingTuesday gift that will sustain Mercy
Corps’ humanitarian work through whatever challenges lie ahead in 2023.

And today, your support will go even further, thanks to a group of
generous donors who have made gifts to our Matching Gift Challenge Fund —
to inspire others to meet this moment of need with even greater
generosity.

Your matching gift today can help us go 2x as far for communities across
the globe. Open #GivingTuesday with us — donate now and multiply your
impact for people facing crisis this giving season.

Sincerely,
