We thank you all for your support in building this orphanage with us. We are progressing with you . Please help us finalize the project by your generous contributions.
Divine Mercy Foundation wish to help people to help themselves. The proverb: “Help Man to fish instead of giving him the fish” is one of our important priorities. We wish to help every family to have a bread winner or a person who can lift the rest of the family.
The foundation assist disadvantaged children: orphans and refugees, girls who have been abused and other categories of poor children for education and critical skills according to the potential and their own aspirations. From 2016 to 2022, the Foundation has assited a total 735 children in Cameroon and in South Africa. This includes children in day care, primary, high school and some students from universities. Today, we are happy to know that some have graduated and have got jobs. Thanks be to God! Thanks to the Diocese of Lansing! Thank you for your generosity!
Adopting a child or a family
The Foundation Divine Mercy gives you a possibility to adopt a child or chose a family that you can assist in order to help them develop and become autonomous. This is based on the life story. For the moments we have such children and families in Cameroon and in South Africa.
At the same times, the foundation has been empowering poor parents by funding their small businesses so that they would not be totally dependant on sporsorship. Some are involved in doing flee market, others sell fruits and vegies and others opens small shops.
We would like to add that the temporary orphanage is now in construction. For now, children are living in very bad conditions, no security, no healthy food, and no education.
