Peacebuilding — plus food security, economic opportunity, and water security — are the four interconnected key outcomes of our work.
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.
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.
Mercy Corps team member James Longok listens to community members in Uganda to help inform dialogue sessions.
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. 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 |
