By donating services or equipment, companies can help us to save crucial resources and focus our resources on our work in the field.

As well as making financial donations to Merlin, Control Risks have also given key staff members access to their risk database which is useful for monitoring security and potential threats in areas where Merlin is operational. Control Risks are now hosting Merlin in the USA, saving vital funds.

"Control Risks is incredibly proud to be spearheading Merlin's venture in the USA.  We've been supporting Merlin for several years, both corporately and through employee initiatives, and are delighted to be hosting their charitable operation in our Washington DC office.  Merlin is incredibly well respected for delivering effective and efficient medical relief and health care services in the developing world.  We believe that they have the potential to garner considerable support in the US too.  That's why we are supporting their venture in the US."
- Jim Brooks, President & CEO, North America, Control Risks
