"in you, the orphan finds mercy" Hosea 14:3

The Numbers

Every 15 SECONDS, another child becomes an AIDS orphan in Africa

Every DAY 5,760 more children become orphans

Every YEAR 2,102,400 more children become orphans (in Africa alone)

143,000,000 Orphans in the world today spend an average of 10 years in an orphanage or foster home

Approximately 250,000 children are adopted annually, but...

Every YEAR 14,050,000 children still grow up as orphans and AGE OUT of the system

Every DAY 38,493 children AGE OUT

Every 2.2 SECONDS, another orphan child AGES OUT with no family to belong to and no place to call home

Many of these children accept job offers that ultimately result in their being sold as slaves. Millions of girls are sex slaves today, simply because they were unfortunate enough to grow up as orphans.

To AGE OUT means to grow to the age where a child is forced to leave the orphanage or foster home with no place to call home.

Sponsor a Child

We began this child sponsorship program to ensure that each child at these orphanages receives 2 meals per day as well as schooling. For $33.00 a month, you can sponsor a child and change their life. $30.00 covers their food (as well as water and firewood for cooking) and schooling and there is a $3.00 handling fee. The $3.00 fee helps pay the wiring fees and the salary of the National Director of Mercy’s Mission in Africa.

Take a few minutes to see the children by selecting the Faces of Mercy's Mission from the menu on the left.  If you see a child that you are interested in sponsoring, Contact us and include the child's name and picture number in the email.

Please use the button below to sponsor a child. Simply enter the # of Children you are sponsoring and the Child ID #(s) in the spaces below and press the button.
