Project Mercy
Who We Serve
We renew the heart of a nation through serving thousands of families, children and women in Ethiopia. Those in the community of Yetebon and ChaCha benefit from our programs. A special group of children who greatly profit from our services are the “House Kids”. Their biological families are unable to care for them and entrust us with their care. Today, many of the House Kids have grown up and graduated college.
Where We Work
We work primarily in Ethiopia, in two locations: ChaCha and Yetebon. When we started the second phase of our ministry, we built a school and clinic in Yetebon, a remote village. Today, we have not only a primary school, but a hospital, high school, and Health Science College.
Yetebon is also the site of our adult skills, food security and “House Kids” programs. Yetebon is the flagship in our community development model, due to all five program areas are represented: education, healthcare, food security, adult skills and infrastructure. ChaCha is the site of our Dairy Cattle Breeding Program.
The Why Behind The Work
We strive to be a living example of the love of Jesus Christ. We obey the Ethiopian Constitution and do not proselytize. We are faith in action!
About Us
Our vision is to “renew the heart of a nation by rooting out spiritual and systematic poverty at the roots”. We do this by focusing on five different but conjoining areas: education, healthcare, food security, adult skills and infrastructure.
In 1977, two Ethiopian Refugees, Marta and Deme, had a passion to help those back in their home continent of Africa. They received assistance from the Directors of the Rescue Mission in Fort Wayne Indiana, Chuck and Fran Dickinson. The first phase of our ministry was offering aid and relief to refugees in Africa. The second and current phase began in 1993 when communism fell in Ethiopia and we were invited to Yetebon, a remote village, by the Elders. We started with a school and a clinic. Today, Project Mercy has grown to include two locations and five programs.
