Move for Mercy Corps

And again, the Move for Mercy Corps challenge is back! I'll be running 154km in June, and matching the distance by raising £154. Join me!! 

For those fleeing Damascus, Syria, there are 154km to travel to Za’atari Refugee Camp in Jordan. This is just one of the many journeys refugees around the world make to find safety.

In the world today, 100 million people have been forcibly displaced. Sadly, this has been brought into starker vision, with over 5 million people fleeing Ukraine - the biggest refugee crisis in Europe since WWII. 

Working for Mercy Corps, I've seen the incredible programmes designed to support refugees, from access to cash and critical information as families cross borders, to market system development work in vulnerable host communities. Your donation will help refugees on their own journey to safety, whether that’s from Ukraine, Syria, Yemen, Ethiopia or other parts of the world affected by conflict. 

Thanks and big love!
