- Mercy & Sharing is a humanitarian organization that provides life-saving medical interventions, clean water, nutritional support, education and a loving and safe home to abandoned and orphaned children in Haiti.
The Mercy & Sharing organization has a new vision for providing quality of life and the best possible future for Haitian children in their care. Through a generous donation, they have been able to purchase 20 acres of land that will serve as the building site of a multi-function facility housing an orphanage, a school and a therapy center for handicapped children. The building project is expected to cost over $1.5 million with an annual operating budget of $28,900.
