Yetebon, Ethiopia

Project Mercy

In 1977, Marta Gabre-Tsadick, Demeke Tekle-Wold, and two special friends, the Reverent and Mrs. Charles Dickinson, founded Project Mercy; a non-profit organization dedicated to Africans in need. Project Mercy is a registered 501 (c) (3) organization based in Fort Wayne, Indiana under the leadership of a seven-person board. When it started, Project Mercy provided emergency relief and relocation assistance to African refugees. From there, Project Mercy enlarged its initial focus and, for over two decades, it has not only provided emergency relief aid, but has expanded its help to educational assistance and support for refugee evangelists. Within the last eleven years, Project Mercy's original focus was enlarged to include community development and self-help programs for people with desperate needs in Yetebon, Ethiopia among a rural farming community of approximately 70,000 people.

Information on the next Fundraising event will be posted as information is received.
