WHO ARE WE?
Mercy Widows & Orphans Foundation is a non governmental organization named after our mother, grandmother and great grandmother, Lolo Mercy Ogbuehi (Mama), who went to be with the Lord on August 14, 2010. This Foundation is in fulfilment of Mama’s wishes whose house was always open to orphans, widows, the poor, the hungry, and to strangers. Mama attended to their needs, ensuring that everyone that she came across regardless of race and religion was treated with respect and caring love. Her heartbeat was having mercy on the poor and less privileged. Mercy Widows & Orphans Foundation was established in fulfilment of a vision given by God to continue with Mama’s lifework and expand on it. The Foundation is comprised of Ministers of The Gospel, Lawyers, Social Workers, and Humanitarian Workers.
WHY DO WE EXIST?
We exist to meet the needs of widows, orphans, the aged and the less privileged in our community, and the world at large; relieve the oppressed, the fatherless, as well as, plead for the widow as the God of heaven will enable us (Isaiah 1:17).
In Luke 19:13, Our Lord Jesus told us to ‘occupy till He comes’. Mercy Widows & Orphans Foundation has not only come to fill the vacuum, but also come to occupy in the areas concerning the welfare of the people.
