About our organization
Mercy Charitable Program is focused on helping children through direct support and education. Our goal is to enable children to develop physical, emotional, mental and social well-being in order for them to become self-reliant adults. Currently, we are focusing on providing support within Ethiopia through a school that will provide education and nutrition to 200 needy children in Arada Ethiopia.
Projects & Outreach
Our current focus is the Addis Yeewuket Minch Primary School. This is a 2018 Joint Venture with Tirzah Children and Community Development Association (an Ethiopian NGO). After much planning, in July of 2018 buildings were acquired and renovated for a school to educate and provide full-year nutrition to 200 students. In September of 2018 the school was opened. The school is free for the children to attend and also provides a full-year nutrition program for the students. Student selection gives preference to double orphans then orphans, and then fills the remaining vacancies via advisement from the local Women’s and Children’s Affair Office that focus on selecting children who do not have the financial means to pursue an education. Additionally, the school provides numerous jobs for teachers, cooks, guards, and limited school administration staff.
NUTRITION
With a little bit of money and an excellent local partner we can provide food for needy children.
EDUCATION
We have opened our first school and look forward to growing the number of students and potentially opening new schools.
