In 2023 we have continued to take in more at-risk children into both our Mercy Children's Home and our Mercy Christian Academy and expanded our services to the local community to avert serious crisis as droughts continue to affect Kenya. While continuing our aid to the local community through Gospel training, feedings and care for the needy, we used much of the year to build up needed campus facilities including a large Dining/Meeting Hall and grew the High school campus. Many many badly needed costly upgrades were completed while still taking care of hundreds of poor children and community members. These costs include, paying full time staff, monthly meat budget and food budgets for over 200 people weekly. 42000 42000 Due to the instability of electrical power in Kenya, along with the high costs of running a Generator, the Board decided to install a complete Solar Panel Array and battery back ups to run the whole compound at about 90% coverage. This made financial sense and was good stewardship of the charities donations as it could cost up to 5,000 a month to provide fuel for the generator when power outages occured 5000 5000 Remodeled the bathrooms for students and children who live full time in the orphanage.
