Mercy for Children is dedicated to bringing hope, love, and mercy
to displaced and vulnerable children living near the Kiyoora Quarries in Uganda. We provide life-changing education, nutrition, medical care, and community-based programs.
The non-profit was started by Doug Miller to aid the children of the Kiyoora stone quarries in Southwestern Uganda. In 2019, Doug traveled to Uganda and met Twikyirize Mercy Asnath (Mercy), who had established a ministry for young women. In 2021, Mercy discovered the dire conditions in the Kiyoora stone quarries, where children as young as three years old were laboring for $.13 per day in pay. Since then, ongoing efforts have supported vulnerable children with food, shelter, and education. Doug's vision expanded in 2024 to establish Mercy for Children, aiming to provide schooling and meals for over 250 children, with long-term plans for a primary school, healthcare clinic, transitional housing, and university scholarships.
Support for this cause is appreciated.
