Poverty loosens when a person can make something people will pay for. We train in practical trades.
Alleviating poverty is not a slogan; it is a skill in the hands. Mercy For Life Africa trains young people and women in plating hair, sewing, baking, and other co-skill trades so a household can earn. The goal is not a certificate on a wall. It is a stall, a machine, a customer who comes back.
From the field
Every photograph and film here can be recaptioned, re-ordered, or moved to another ministry from the staff desk.
Skilling & enterprise
Orange shirts, grey aprons, star cutters, a bowl of dough. Skilling starts young: a trade a child can taste, and later sell.
Skilling & enterprise
Two bakers in Mercy Schools shirts hold out gingerbread and stars. The lesson is a tray that came out of the oven. The grin is the certificate.
