Mercy Ships is a nonprofit organization on a mission to bring hope and healing to the nations in Sub-Saharan Africa. We send our hospital ships, the Global Mercy and Africa Mercy, crewed by volunteers, to countries where access to healthcare is severely limited. We perform life-transforming surgeries and train local healthcare workers to help strengthen the medical community in the countries we serve.
Mercy Ships has been on this mission since 1978 and has had the opportunity to transform millions of lives and hundreds of communities in the process.
