FAQ
Common questions
How do I know my donation reaches the children?
Every sponsor receives receipts for every payment. Sponsorships include regular photos, updates, and the option to communicate with your sponsored child. We also keep a public ledger of major projects and their completion status.
Is Mercy Children a registered non-profit?
Yes — we're registered under the Trustees Incorporation Act 1962 of Malawi, and we work in partnership with the Social Welfare Office in Child Welfare Services.
Can I visit the centre?
Absolutely! We love visitors. Please contact us in advance so we can arrange a proper welcome and ensure we're not in the middle of naptime or meal service when you arrive.
What's the minimum donation?
There isn't one. $5 buys a day's food for a child. $14 covers a term's primary school fees. $270 provides goats for 10 widows. Every amount matters.
How do I cancel a recurring donation?
Email us at info@mercychildren.org anytime. No hassle, no guilt trip.
