Who are we?
Mercy's Hope
About Us
Mercy's Hope is a 501 (c) 3
non-profit organization founded by
John and Valerie Hays in January
of 2007.
What do we
do?
Currently Mercy's Hope
works with two orphanages
in Githunguri, Kenya. We
work to raise awareness of
the level of poverty in which
the children of these homes
face on a daily basis. We
raise money to provide
temporary relief from the
discomfort of hungry, illness
and cold. We are also
working on plans to provide
a more permanent solution
to the problems of poverty
and AIDS. We also have two
Widow groups in which we
support through the
purchasing of hand-made
jewelry. We then sell the
jewelry and the profit goes to
further "A Widows Worth"
program.
Why do we do what we do?
The calling to serve the children of Kenya,
Africa was born out of the example Jesus
Christ gave us all in the scriptures which
states:
"Religion that God our Father accepts as
faultless is this: to look after the orphans and
the widows in their distress and to keep
oneself from being polluted by the world."
James 1:27
