One Table

Global hunger is a shared problem we must work together to solve. That's why Mercy Corps has launched One Table to fight hunger by investing in women.

When a woman succeeds in school or farming or business, she provides food, education and healthcare to her family. Her own health and well-being improves, her household becomes stronger and the entire community benefits.

Hunger is solvable, and we believe the solution lies with hard-working women around the world.

We're calling our campaign One Table because we are coming together to learn, share, decide and take action.

When you give to our One Table campaign, you support all the work Mercy Corps does around the world, including our efforts to fight hunger by investing in women. Your donation will help fund programs that empower women to fight hunger by growing healthy food, educating themselves about nutrition or creating a business to lift their families from poverty. You'll be helping women help themselves, as well as giving them the encouragement to extend a helping hand to their neighbors.

We all have something to contribute. What can you bring to the table? Together, we can end hunger.
