We do not encourage contributions in-kind, largely because of the substantial cost of shipping goods and cost of storage at the disaster location.
With cash donations, MERCY Malaysia is able to purchase supplies in local regions or closer to the affected areas. This ensures that donation from the public is channeled to the people who need it most, and not utilised unnecessarily to cover logistic costs such as transportation, fuel and warehouse space rental.
mercy.org.myPurchasing goods at the affected region also helps to stimulate the local economy of the people affected by the disaster, and helps them rebuild their life faster.
