MERCY CARE

We give because He first gave…

There comes a time in everyone’s life when a crisis or unexpected need arises. The Gospel is full of stories of helping communities, the sick, and loving your neighbor as yourself. Mercy care looks like buying a tin of corn flour for the hungry, transporting a critically ill neighbor to the hospital during the middle of the night, supporting young orphans with food monthly or building a home for an elderly widow in need.

“Chronic malnutrition in Mozambique has remained relatively unchanged for the past 15 years. Extremely high levels of chronic malnutrition (43 per cent) in Mozambique affect almost one in every two children under the age of 5. As well as contributing to infant deaths and poor child health, chronic malnutrition has a detrimental impact on school performance, household income, and perpetuates the inter-generational cycle of deprivation.” (UNICEF)
