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.

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
