Founded in 2020 by Alex Ssengonzi in Kasanda Bukuya, Uganda. 32 orphaned children. One powerful mission — love.
Mercy Children's Home was founded with one powerful belief — that every child, no matter their background, deserves to be loved, sheltered, fed and educated.
We are not just a children's home. We are a family. Every child who arrives broken leaves empowered. Every story of pain becomes a story of hope.
"We didn't start with money. We started with love. And love has been enough."
— Alex Ssengonzi, Founder · Mercy Children's HomeMercy Children's Home was founded in 2020 in Kasanda Bukuya, Uganda, to give orphaned children a safe home, food, education, and love. Today we care for 32 children.
No child is too broken, too small or too forgotten. Every child at Mercy Children's Home is seen, known and loved.
We started with love before we had money. Love is still our greatest resource and the foundation of everything we do.
Every donation is accounted for. We share exactly how funds are used — because donors deserve to know their impact.
We work with local Ugandan communities, churches and schools — because sustainable change starts from within.
We believe education is the most powerful tool against poverty. Every child at Mercy goes to school — no exceptions.
Our work is rooted in faith and scripture. We believe God's love for children calls us to action every single day.
"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress."— James 1:27
