An early invention project of the Mothers' Union of the Diocese of Mt. Kenya South. The projects goal is to provide the basic needs of food, shelter and education to disadvantaged children - most are orphans. Above all Mothers' Mercy Home is a home whose basic foundation is the love of Christ.

The home opened it's doors on 9 May 2001. It was founded by the Mothers' Union in response to the urgent outcry for a home to cater for the increasing outcry for a home to cater for the increasing number of destitute AIDS orphans whose numbers are increasing as the disease continues to spread. The home also caters for other children whose family circumstances may deny them basic needs and a Christian upbringing.

The mission is the full development of disadvantaged children.

To lay a firm Christian foundation for future
To built instututions capacity so that it can cope with the needs of the needy children
To maintain and establish strong long term that they can have a base to lean on in future

Management
The home is run by a committee elected by the Mothers' Union (an organisation of women in the Aglican Church), most of the members are experts in early child development. They work as volenteers for the benefit of the Home, the children and for the glory of Christ. The home caters for both boys and girls.

Location
The home is is situated at Kianjogu on Red Hill Road between Nairobi and Limuru, approximately 17 kms from the City Centre in the Kiambu District. Because of the height of the location (approx. 2500 m) it can be very cold in the winter (July - August) and in the nights.

APPEAL
The home depends on well-wishers for the upkeep of the children and maintenance of the institution. We wish to make a passionate appeal to you to stretch a helping hand to these needey children

There are several ways you can do this:

The most needed is to buy agricultaral piece of ground next to the mercy home, so that they can grow their own vegetables and fruit. What they don't need can be sold in the village so the continuity is garanteed. Costing around 90,000 $ or 60,000 euro.
