Welcome
To Mercy in Action
Feeding
the Hungry Today, Equipping Them for Tomorrow
Since
1995, the UK charity Mercy in Action (MiA) has been transforming
the lives of some of the world’s poorest of poor; in particular,
our projects in the Philippines providing vital housing, medicine,
food and schooling.
It
was following a visit to the Philippines that MiA founders John and
Allison Todd were moved to act when they befriended and fed a group
of ‘street boys’. These boys were poor beyond belief;
malnourished, living in squalor and with no prospect of education or
a safe future. Sadly, this situation was not unique but it
provided the catalyst for change that now sees MiA helping hundreds
of children and families in some of the world’s poorest and
toughest areas.
In
addition to supporting its field-based Project Teams, MiA understands
the crucial importance of working closely with locally based agencies
and professionals and is constantly expanding
these valuable partnerships.
