Mercy Project
About

Mercy Project began in August of 2009 when I traveled to Ghana, Africa for the first time. On that trip, Chris Field, met Tomas. Tomas is a child slave; one of an estimated 7,000 enslaved children who work in the fishing industry of Ghana today. Meeting Tomas both broke and stole Chris Field' heart, and has been working ever since that fateful day to bring justice and mercy to the enslaved children working on Lake Volta.

The methods of Mercy Project is different, and they have been from the very beginning.

Mercy Project is seeking long-term, sustainable solutions that empower and equip the Ghanaians who use the children to work.

Mercy Project wants to be creative and innovative in economic development projects. Mercy Project don’t just want to rescue a few kids, we want to remove the structures that cause these children to work like this in the first place. The ultimate goal is to work ourselves out of a job.

The story is a story of hope, faith, and trust. We believe that good things happen when people give of themselves.Mercy Project believes that great things happen when people join with others in giving of themselves.

Some incredible things are happening, and we thank God every day for the chance to be a part of it. Mercy Project hopes you will join us on the journey to make the world a better place.
