The Mission
Bringing Hope and Healing
Around the world, billions of people live in fear and desperation - with impure water, inadequate food, and little or no access to health care. More than 1.2 billion people survive on less than $1 per day. Nearly 50% of Africa's population has no access to a hospital or doctor. More than 6 million children die each year from completely preventable causes like malaria, diarrhea, and pneumonia. But, behind every statistic is a story, a life - a person waiting for hope and healing.
Mercy Ships, a global charity, has operated a fleet of hospital ships in developing nations since 1978. Following the 2000-year-old example of Jesus, Mercy Ships brings hope and healing to the poor, mobilizing people and resources worldwide.
