Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Mercy project seeks to encourage economic development within ghana in order to reduce the need for child slavery. The organization focuses on implementing new agricultural fishing methods in ghanaian villages, which will allow for villagers to work without having to utilize child labor. Upon release of the children, mercy project works to reintegrate the former slaves with their families and provide for their basic needs, including education.

Mercy project seeks to rescue children from slavery. We partner with families and communities trapped in the cycle of poverty, empowering them with sustainable economic solutions in order to free children from forced labor.
