Help us go 5X as far ▸
Dear friend,

Conflict, climate change, and COVID-19: this perfect storm of events has led us to an unprecedented global food crisis.

Right now, a record 350 million people across 79 countries are suffering from severe hunger, and the situation is expected to worsen — exacerbated by war in Ukraine — with global food supplies projected to drop to a three-year low.

Mercy Corps is responding to this global hunger crisis — both by providing immediate relief, and by helping communities address the root causes preventing them from growing or buying food in the first place.

Our approach maximizes the impact of your gift — for every $1 you give, we’ve raised an average of $4 in public grants. With this combined funding, your gift can go up to 5X as far, for families facing crisis.

Will you make a gift of $7 right now to help us reach our $50,000 March fundraising goal?

More than 8.3 million people, roughly half of Somalia’s population, are hungry — making it among the world’s most food insecure countries. A child is admitted to a health care facility every single minute of every day, due to malnutrition and related complications.

On my trip to Somalia, I met with team members and program participants about the challenges they’re facing as a result of historic drought and global food shortages.

At least two million people have been displaced from their homes and must make long treks to urban areas to seek help. After their difficult journey, many people are malnourished and in poor health. They seek treatment, food, water, and shade from the hot sun in temporary shelters.
At a camp for displaced people in Baidoa, Somalia, I met with families who had to flee their homes after their crops and livestock died, leaving them with nothing to eat or sell.
In Somalia, we are providing emergency support to nearly 600,000 people. We’re delivering clean drinking water for people and for their livestock, hygiene kits to prevent disease spread, and cash assistance to help families purchase food, medicine, and clothing.

As the global food crisis increases hunger in Somalia and all over the world, our teams will continue to work around the clock to help families in need. Your support can help us reach as many as possible. Will you make a gift to Mercy Corps to help communities around the world facing war, hunger, and poverty?

Thank you for your generosity during this time of unprecedented need.

Sincerely,
