ThatHelps’ partner Mercy Corps is calling on you to support humanitarian aid workers ahead of World Humanitarian Day (Saturday, August 19). Why should let the humanitarian aid workers know you support them? The simple act of saying “Thanks” can have a huge ripple effect on everyone around you and inspire more acts of altruism.

Mercy Corps’ 5,000 team members work tirelessly to put kindness into action every day, in over forty countries, in the most dangerous places to be an aid worker. They work side by side with the folks who face poverty, conflict and disaster, in places like the Sudan, Syria, Mali, and Jordan, just to name a few.
