Mercy Projects, formerly known as Eastern European Outreach, was founded in 1980 to share the gospel in restricted countries. Today our focus is child and family development, assisting orphans, at-risk children, and needy families in Ukraine, Kosovo, Armenia and around the world. We are a faith-based agency working to make disciples of Jesus Christ; and develop local, "in-country" solutions to the vulnerable children crisis. Mercy Projects strives to keep vulnerable children out of institutions and have them raised in families. Monthly sponsorships provide the support needed to keep these vulnerable children in families.
