Mission

Mercy project seeks to rescue children from slavery. We partner with families and communities trapped in the cycle of poverty, empowering them with sustainable economic solutions in order to free children from forced labor.

Programs

2 programs

Child rehabilitation and reintegration into their families: upon a village's release of their trafficked children, mercy project transports the children to a specialized rehabilitation shelter where the children begin receiving physical and emotional support. The children live at the shelter for 3-4 months during which they begin their formal education and are brought to full health from any ongoing medical issues that have been untreated. Once ready, the children are reunited back into their families where they and their parents continue to receive support and empowerment from mercy project's social workers.

Expenses: $344K

Missionary establishment and support: mercy project has a country director and a missionary house that functions as a headquarters for all mercy project work on lake volta and around the country. Their role is critical in the ongoing relationships and problem solving that comes with such a complex process.
