Restoring hope, one child at a time.

The Grace Mercy Foundation is a faith-based nonprofit organization dedicated to walking alongside orphans, widows, and vulnerable families across Kenya. Rooted in the love of Christ, we believe that true transformation begins with meeting basic needs and is sustained through education, community, and spiritual support.

Our Core Pillars

  • Safe Shelter: Ensuring vulnerable families and orphans have a secure, dignified place to call home.
  • Widow Care: Walking with widows through grief, offering emotional community, and creating sustainable livelihood opportunities so they can support their households.

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress..."

— James 1:27

Our Foundation

Our Core Pillars

Everything we do is built on these three foundational commitments.

Home & Family

Providing a safe, stable, and loving environment where children feel secure and valued.

Nutrition & Health

Ensuring daily access to clean water and balanced meals essential for healthy growth.

Education & Mentorship

Equipping children with the knowledge, skills, and faith-based guidance needed to build bright futures.

What We Do

Six Pillars of Community Transformation

Every program we run is shaped by the real, lived needs shared with us by the families we serve. We don't just provide aid; we walk hand-in-hand with our community to build lasting hope.

Nutritional Support (Feeding Program)

We are dedicated to providing hot, nutritious meals to over a hundred children daily—a number that is growing rapidly. For many, this is their only reliable source of healthy food.

Educational Empowerment

We break the cycle of poverty by ensuring vulnerable learners have everything they need to thrive in school, including school fees, uniforms, textbooks, and academic tuition.

Shelter & Holistic Care

Our vision is to build a safe, loving, and permanent home for orphans and children rescued from the streets, giving them a secure environment to heal and grow.

Spiritual Discipleship (Bible Teaching)

We nurture the hearts and minds of the younger generation through weekly Sunday school lessons, teaching values, faith, and moral foundations.

Widow & Single Mother Empowerment

We walk alongside single mothers and widows, empowering them through sustainable skill-building, community fellowship, and emergency provision to help them achieve independence.

Community Outreach & Mobilization

We actively step into neighborhoods across Nairobi, bringing immediate relief, prayer, food, and shelter to families facing crisis.

Transport & Essential Logistics

To ensure safety and consistency, we aim to provide reliable transportation for children to and from school, critical medical appointments, and uplifting community events.

"True community care isn't about a single handout—it's about a sustained commitment to walking together toward a better future."

Stories of Impact

Small moments. Lasting change.

Plates that say: You are not forgotten.
Mealtime

Plates that say: You are not forgotten.

Every weekday, the rich aroma of fresh ugali, spinach and stewed beans or meat with a fruit fills our dining hall, accompanied by a chorus of laughter. For many of these children, this is more than just lunch; it is the only hot, reliable meal of their day, served with a side of absolute belonging.

Little hands, big stories.
Early Learning

Little hands, big stories.

On simple woven mats, our youngest minds take their very first steps into a wider world. Surrounded by colorful books and patient guidance, they discover the magic of language, the joy of literacy, and the incredible wonder of learning.

A patient hand on every page.
Mentorship

A patient hand on every page.

True education extends far beyond the classroom. Every afternoon, dedicated mentors sit side-by-side with each child, staying until the very last homework problem is solved and ensuring that, along the way, every young heart feels truly heard and valued.

A cool drink, a fresh start.
Clean Water & Health

A cool drink, a fresh start.

We believe dignity begins with the basics. By providing safe, clean water and essential health checkups, we are keeping waterborne illnesses at bay. Today, children are spending their days running on the playground and thriving in class, rather than missing school due to preventable sickness.

Strength for the resilient.
Empowerment & Care

Strength for the resilient.

Impact doesn't stop with the children; it wraps around the families who love them. Through our community outreach, local widows find a safe space of mutual support, financial literacy, and emotional comfort, reminding them that they do not have to carry the weight of the world alone.

A canopy of safety.
Safe Havens

A canopy of safety.

For a child to dream, they must first feel safe. Our center provides a secure, bright, and protective environment where children can leave the vulnerabilities of the streets behind, trading survival instincts for the simple freedom of being a kid.

Faith & Values

“Pure religion is to care for orphans and widows.”

Our work flows from a quiet conviction: that every child carries the image of God. Through Bible study, prayer and gentle mentorship, we plant seeds of hope that will outlive us.
