​BUILDING DIGNITY THROUGH SANITATION IN WEST BENGAL
In six villages of Malda District, MCC’s partner is
tackling open defecation by constructing low-cost
toilets for families living below the poverty line. Over
three years, 36 model latrines will be built for the most
vulnerable households, promoting health, dignity, and
privacy—especially for women and girls. Alongside
construction, the project uses cultural awareness
campaigns and household visits to encourage behavior
change and ensure proper use, creating healthier
communities and reducing waterborne diseases.

$223 funds construction of a new latrine (Please designate

LIFESAVING FOOD FOR DISPLACED FAMILIES IN MYANMAR

In Chin State, families have fled airstrikes, blockades and
violence, leaving many without steady access to food.
MCC’s partner is providing four months of essential food
baskets to 100 displaced families in western Myanmar.
Each basket includes basic staples: rice, peas, noodles, oil
and salt. Working through trusted local churches and
community leaders, distributions are carried out safely and
discreetly in this high‐risk area, easing hunger and helping
families preserve limited income for other urgent needs.
 

$150 buys a four-month supply of food for a displaced
family (Please designate your gift to “Myanmar-Emergency Assistance”

SUPPORTING FAMILIES WHO RAISE DAIRY GOATS IN LEBANON

In Lebanon’s Baalbek-Hermel region, MCC’s partner is helping
women strengthen food security and earn income through goat
farming. Eighty women receive goats along with training in goat
care, milking and food processing: support that helps families
access fresh dairy products and reduce household expenses. As
goats begin producing milk, women prepare labneh, a soft
cheese and laban, a yogurt drink. With veterinary follow‐up and
community support, goats become both a source of nutrition
and a reliable asset for families facing ongoing economic
hardship.
 

$350 provides a family with a local-breed dairy goat (Please designate

THREADS OF OPPORTUNITY IN SANTIAGO ATITLÁN
In rural Guatemala, MCC partner ANADESA equips young
women with weaving and embroidery skills to revive traditional
art and create pathways to income. Participants receive looms,
threads and toolkits along with training in design and business
planning. These classes help preserve cultural heritage while
empowering women to build sustainable livelihoods and
strengthen their role in community development. By combining
technical skills with entrepreneurship training, the project opens
doors for women to market their products locally and beyond.
 

$258 provides materials for women learning weaving or
embroidery (Please designate your gift to “Guatemala-Food
