Mercy Kids Africa is a small non-profit organization based in Washington, United States, focused on improving the lives of orphans and vulnerable children in Zambia. Its work centers on meeting basic needs, expanding educational opportunities, and coordinating projects that strengthen families and communities, beginning with Lusungu Children’s Home in Chingola. The group collaborates with Lusungu Children’s Home to support children affected by HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria, addressing both immediate needs and longer-term development. It pursues a vision of implementing programs in Africa that move away from reliance on donations toward self-sustaining operations, starting with one organization at a time. Its guiding beliefs affirm that every child has potential, basic needs must be met, family and community influence a child’s future, education should be accessible, and lasting success comes from sustainable solutions rather than short-term charity. In 2017, Mercy Kids Africa partnered with the Francis Howell School District to offer two community education classes, illustrating its collaborative approach with local partners.
