MOMS DIE FROM PREGNANCY RELATED CAUSES.
OUR MISSION:
Mercy’s Light Family transforms lives of young girls in pregnancy crisis and have been through sexual trauma.
Saving the young moms and their babies from likely death, moving them spiritual discipleship, counseling, vocational training, business creation, and true life.
“When we opened in August 2018, there were no centers helping young moms in the North Coast region of Kenya. And I think even as of today there are no other similar centers in the North Coast of Mombasa!”
YOUR SUPPORT CHANGES AND TRANSFORMS LIVES
For young moms in Kenya, pregnancy is worse than HIV. With HIV they have counseling and other services available to help them. But with pregnancy, there is no help, no hope. They believe their lives are over.
They’re removed from family and school, and there’s nowhere to turn to for help, advice or anything.
Many girls try other methods of terminating pregnancy, like drinking bleach, in hopes of ending the pregnancy.
YOUR SUPPORT PROVIDES:
Year 1
Year one consists of extensive spiritual and emotional counseling, medical care, and basic education. Many of our girls come to our center unable to write their own names at the age of sixteen. As they adjust to motherhood they learn to dream.
Year 2
Year two consists of continuing year one and adding intensive vocational skills training. They learn basic vocational skills, which include beading, tailoring, cooking, and baking. As they adjust to motherhood, they learn to dream.
Year 3
Year three consists of financial, educational and income building training. The mothers will learn to start a business while they’re at our center. Preparing them to move out with their baby and support themselves.

MEET "BRITTANY"
As a junior in high school, she was raped & impregnated. Her baby “Iris” is now 3 years old. Her mom had a business selling alcohol, one of her customers raped her daughter. Her mother closed down her business and allowed Brittany to stay at home & is attempting to care for the baby.
Brittany finished school thanks to a sponsor that provides her education funds and her little daughter is attending school at one of our schools.
Her mother (grandma) has also been set up with a small business thanks to a college sponsor who donated $50. They are all living Kenya style comfortably and working their way out of poverty – 3 generations of girls/women.
With your help, this will be the future for more girls! The hope of having a safe a sustainable place to birth and raise a child while still prevailing in school despite the trauma of rape.
Overcoming rape & unexpected pregnancy – Mercy’s Light Family brings emotional, spiritual healing, counseling, & vocational, business training.
Proving that God’s love lights the way in the darkest of times! Mercy’s Light Family – A Light In the Darkness.
