Water security — plus peacebuilding, food security, and economic opportunity — are the four interconnected key outcomes of our work.
Give today ▸
Life without clean water is not only a health risk — it affects every area of life, especially for women.

In many parts of the world, women and girls must carry heavy water containers long distances to collect water. The treks may put their safety at risk, and the time required can prevent girls from attending school and women from earning income. Where people have no choice but to drink dirty water, they can contract waterborne diseases like cholera and typhoid. Billions of people don’t have access to the clean water and sanitation services they need.

Today, on World Water Day, we’re asking you to make a gift that can help us go up to 5X as far, for families facing crisis in 40+ countries around the world.

You see, Mercy Corps raises an average of up to $4 in public grants compared to every $1 in individual gifts. That means your gift, when combined with our average annual grants, can help us go 5X as far. Will you make a gift today and help us meet our March fundraising goal of $50,000?
Help us go 5X as far ▸
Water security is a basic human right, and is one of four key areas of Mercy Corps’ work. From now through the end of March, we’re sharing more about each of these four focus areas, which also include: Food Security, Economic Opportunity, and Peacebuilding.

Last year, Mercy Corps reached 4.6 million people in 22 countries with our water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) programs. In times of emergency, we mobilize quickly to provide immediate solutions like trucking in water and constructing temporary sanitation facilities. Then, we work with communities on long-term solutions like rehabilitating and strengthening management of water systems.

WASH programs provide more than clean water — they provide communities more time to grow food, earn an income, and go to school. Which means WASH programs can break the cycle of poverty.

Your generous support helps us reach as many people as possible with programs that strengthen water and food security, economic opportunity, and peacebuilding around the world.

When you make a gift of $5, it will join with $20 to help families when crises strike, and long after, as they recover and rebuild their communities.

Help us raise $50,000 by the end of March — make your gift today and it can help us go up to 5X as far, for millions of people we serve around the world.
