Biography

Mercy comes from the village of Atapara. She and her sister were living with an aunt after the death of their parents. Their aunt was unable to take proper care of Mercy so she came to live in our Lira Children’s Home in December 2009.

Mercy is described as a helpful, obedient and honest young girl. She plays well with others and enjoys playing in the sand. Mercy’s favorite color is white and her favorite subject in school is math. She helps out in her home by washing dishes and carrying water from the village well.

Mercy comes from a Christian home. She is now living in an environment where she is safe and secure. Please join us in praying for physical and spiritual growth, and blessings in Mercy’s life.
