Dear friend,

It’s easy to take clean drinking water and sanitation services for
granted. But for billions of people, there is no faucet to turn on or no
toilet to flush.

Safe water and sanitation services are vital to communities — preventing
disease, boosting productivity, protecting local resources, and improving
the standard of living.

Yet, 2.2 billion people lack safe drinking water.

Water security is one of our key focus areas at Mercy Corps, and we work
across the globe to improve access to water, sanitation, and hygiene —
from installing solar pumps to distributing sanitary pads.

drink, safe sanitation services, and the resources they need to survive
and thrive.

Here are a few examples of Mercy Corps’ work in addressing the lack of
water and sanitation in communities around the world:


  In February of 2023, multiple earthquakes in Syria destroyed water and
sanitation infrastructure in schools, homes, and other important
  facilities. Mercy Corps teams conducted rehabilitation projects and
repaired water systems to help restore access to clean water for
impacted communities.
 
  For four years in a row, South Sudan suffered devastating floods.
Flood waters contaminated boreholes and latrines, inundated villages,
  and destroyed communities, affecting roughly two-thirds of the
country. Mercy Corps provided water and sanitation services to
families, including training women and young girls to make their own
sanitary pads.
 
  Crops like rice and bananas require a substantial amount of water. For
farmers and business communities in Senegal, inadequate water
  decreases crop yield and raises their expenses. Mercy Corps has been
installing solar-powered water systems to provide water to farms and
gardens in the country — supporting more crops, more income, and a
better livelihood for farmers and their families.


Together with our teams, the communities we serve, and generous people
like you, we’re making a life-changing impact for families across the
globe.

Sincerely,

The Mercy Corps team
