Mercy Ships are committed to transforming the lives of the poorest of the poor. People who have lived with devastating ano 30 years! The crew all pay to serve on board. Their donations, together with support from corporationd life-threatening medical conditions for decades find hope and healing – physical and emotional – through the life-saving and life-transforming surgeries Mercy Ships provide free of charge.

Dedicated medical professionals, technical crew, cooks, accountants, cleaners, receptionists, school teachers – and many others – volunteer their time on board our hospital ship, the Africa Mercy, for anything from 2 weeks ts and individuals, keep the ship in developing nations in Africa providing specialised surgeries to those who have no hope of medical assistance in their home countries.

Mercy Ships are also committed to capacity building – training medical professionals to improve medical care in their countries.

This is an inspiring story of how we can all make a difference.
