September 2010 marks the 15 year anniversary of us meeting five hungry and homeless little boys, who changed the course of our lives, and from which Mercy in Action emerged.
The Philippines has a beautiful and unpredictable landscape- from deep valleys to mountain peaks and from wild jungles to peaceful desert islands- a picture reflected by Mercy in Action's own journey since 1995. Despite the intervening years there are still many more children needing rescuing from lives of hunger, neglect and abuse, each one of them desperate to belong to a loving family. The good news is, thanks to your help Mercy in Action is now able to help more children and their families than ever before.
Since that first encounter:
Close to £1,000,000 has been released to projects throughout the Philippines and further afield.
4,000 hot, nutritious meals are provided for children every month.
Over 1,000 children have been sponsored through primary and secondary school.
50 native houses have been built to keep loving families together.
Around 30 young adults have been enabled to graduate college and gain a professional job.
10 huge containers full of clothing, food and gifts have been sent.
8 shops have been opened to help support our work.
Add to that a children's home, a drop in centre, numerous foster homes and halfway houses and you start to get an idea of the impact Mercy in Action is having.
