Our Organization’s Initiatives
At MercyGiven, we are dedicated to serving communities in both the United Kingdom and Nigeria through a range of impactful initiatives:
Community Engagement: We actively engage with senior citizens, children, and families in local community halls, fostering a nurturing environment for all. Our diverse activities include coffee mornings, homework clubs, cooking sessions, football matches, exercise programs, book discussions, and gardening activities. We also provide essential services such as diet advice, dance classes, and evening film sessions. Additionally, we facilitate open discussions for teenagers, promoting dialogue and understanding.
Educational Empowerment: In our pursuit of educational excellence, we conduct Zoom Bible classes for children and coding classes for students, encouraging their intellectual growth and technological proficiency. We believe in the power of education to transform lives and communities.
Humanitarian Aid and Donations: We extend a helping hand by donating clothing, personal protective equipment (PPE), shoes, food items, and other necessities to orphanages and homes. Furthermore, we have supplied schools with essential resources, including desktop computers, printers, and benches. MercyGiven has also sponsored sixty-two pupils, ensuring they have access to proper school uniforms, promoting a sense of dignity and equality among students.
Collaborative Partnerships: MercyGiven collaborates closely with Change Ambassadors Network (CAN), an organization established by alumni of Comprehensive High School Alapere, Ketu. Together, we conduct empowerment programs, recognize outstanding students, and provide sponsorships for JAMB examinations to exceptionally talented individuals. Through these partnerships, we strengthen our impact and reach within the communities we serve.
Building Meaningful Relationships: MercyGiven is committed to establishing strong relationships with school management and other professionals. By fostering these connections, we create a network of support and collaboration, enhancing our ability to make a difference in the lives of those we serve.
