Your support helps provide relief around the world. No Images? Click here         We need your help  From earthquakes in Mexico, to hurricanes in the Caribbean, to violence in Congo, MCC is responding to urgent disasters around the world. The house on this photo was destroyed by Hurricane Irma in Cuba. MCC's disaster fund is stretched thin, so we humbly ask you to learn about the eight major relief projects we are responding to and give today to help provide assistance and to support communities as they rebuild.    181 latrines, 0 cholera   In Kabay, Haiti, cholera and other water-borne diseases have been a problem for years. They knew building latrines would help, but nobody had the money to build them. With your support we were able to provide materials for 118 latrines. See the difference that makes for people like Andrenya Charl.      Events October 28 and November 3 Faithful Advocacy for Criminal Justice Reform: Principles and Practice (Harleysville, Pa.)
