Over the last thirty years, several thousand kiwis have volunteered their time and skills with the Christian hospital charity, Mercy Ships.

In 1978 the organisation began, with the purchase of a retired oceanliner.

Their current ship, Africa Mercy, was transformed from a Danish ferry boat into a floating hospital capable of performing 7000 surgical operations each year. Shes based in West Africa and serves as the base for providing free medical, dental and community-care in some of the worlds most impoverished places.




Recently in New Zealand to celebrate the 30th anniversary were the founders of Mercy Ships, Don and Deyon Stephens.
