Peacebuilding — plus food security, economic opportunity, and water
security — are the four interconnected key outcomes of our work.

Dear friend,

In a small village in Uganda, under an umbrella of shade cast by trees,
members of two local communities sit together on small wooden stools. A
stream of women and children with yellow jerry cans make their way along
the periphery to and from a nearby water tap. Women weave through the
crowd, dancing and singing peace songs.

During dialogue sessions facilitated by Mercy Corps in Uganda, community
members peacefully voice grievances and work together to find solutions.


In this pastoral region of Uganda, ethnic tensions and scarce natural
resources often lead to conflict. But on this day, the two communities
came together to discuss their issues peacefully.

With Mercy Corps’ support, they developed and signed a natural resource
agreement that establishes community guidelines such as tracking stolen
animals, creating shared grazing areas, and lobbying the government to
construct critical infrastructure — like water boreholes, schools, and
health clinics.

This is an example of our peacebuilding work in action. You can help
support this critical work by making a gift today to help us reach
our fundraising goal of $50,000 by the end of March.

Uganda to help inform dialogue sessions.


Violent conflict around the world is at a 30-year high. Through our
peacebuilding efforts, we’re helping people experience less violence,
build more cohesive communities, and participate meaningfully in
governance systems.

You’re an important part of this process — your generous support can help us go up
to 5X as far, for communities in crisis in Uganda and around the world.

You see, for every $1 in individual gifts to Mercy Corps, we raise an
average of $4 from public grants. When we combine your gift with our
public grant funding, our work can go up to 5X as far, for families facing
conflict and disaster in 40+ countries.

[ [link removed] ]Will you make a first-time
gift today to help us meet our $50,000 March fundraising
goal?

Together, we can turn challenge into change for millions of people around
the globe.

Thank you,

The Mercy Corps team
