About Us
Hands of Mercy is a Christian compassion organisation, working alongside Filipino families to help them raise themselves out of poverty. Through a range of compassion programmes, we provide a variety of support including food, education, homes and medicine to children and families living in abject poverty. Our aim is to restore hope to these children and families and empower them for the future.
David Gunn, Founder, Hands of Mercy
Our vision is to see children and families experience the radical love of God, respond to the saving grace of Jesus and live in the power of the Holy Spirit. Then, through their transformed lives, we want to see God’s love extended to the needs of others from one community to another.
Hands of Mercy has ministry teams working in 11 urban poor communities or informal settlements. We are staffed by volunteer Filipinos who live in the urban poor communities where we operate. They experience the same living conditions as those they seek to serve.
Hands of Mercy Philippines is the compassion ministry of the Association of Mercy Community Churches in the Philippines, and affiliated to Hands of Mercy International (registered Charity No. 1097434).
