The answer is 2.2 billion people do not have access to clean drinking water.
About 1 in 4 people around the world lack access to clean water. Climate change, poor water governance, inadequate water management and planning, and inequitable control of resources are the root causes of water insecurity.
Mercy Corps is working directly with communities to meet their immediate needs while addressing the root causes of water scarcity. This is one of four key interrelated areas of our work along with food security, economic opportunity, and peace and good governance.
Monthly gifts are the best way to help fuel our work to find long-term solutions that help families survive immediate crises, build better lives, and thrive long into the future.
By joining our monthly giving community, Partners In Possibility, you’ll provide the consistent, reliable support needed each and every month to help people around the world survive crises, build better lives, and transform their communities for good.
Thanks to our generous partner, the Cotopaxi Foundation, we’re matching all new monthly gifts in the first month, up to $5,000.
The steady support of our monthly givers enables our organization to respond immediately when crises strike, and support communities in places like Ukraine, Haiti, Sudan, and Syria with long-term solutions that go beyond emergency aid and spark lasting change. Start your monthly gift today.
