MercysVillage's channel

Mercys Village International is an organization dedicated to fighting poverty through the education of children and the empowerment of girls and young women.
For most of Africa's children, education represents the only way out of a life of poverty. Across the continent, millions of families currently subsist on less than $1.00 a day. Only children who can read, write and do arithmetic can hope to get better paying jobs when they grow up.

But education is about much more than just providing job skills. It's playing an increasingly vital role in helping children protect themselves against the diseases that can ravage poor communities. Simple information on day-to-day hygiene and disease prevention saves lives and keeps families together

Mercys Village is collaborating with local government officials and communities to create a school that offers a safe place where children can learn, play and have access to clean water, a balanced meal and sanitation facilities.
