Orphans and disabled children in Linda compound need a place in school

For many orphans and children with disabilities in Linda compound, Chilanga district, school is out of reach.

Some cannot attend because classrooms and sanitation facilities are inadequate or inaccessible. Many have no regular meals, no clothes and no psychosocial support. Children who miss school fall behind, repeat classes and drop out. They are more exposed to malnutrition, early marriage and child labour, and later to lifelong exclusion from employment.

Public schools and social services in our area are overstretched. Often they are not equipped to support children with different disabilities.

Mercy Community School Foundation was founded for these children. We offer them free education, nutritious meals, clothes and psychosocial support, at no cost to them. When a child has food, clothes and support, it is easier to come to school and to learn. It also builds trust in our community.

Now we need more classes for orphans.

Every donation, of any size, helps these children. If you cannot give right now, please share this page. Thank you to everyone who has already stood with them.
