Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
MERCY MINISTRIES-AFM AFRICA IS OUR PRIMARY MISSION WHERE WE ARE SERVING THE POOR AND NEEDY IN WESTERN KENYA WITH OUR COMMISSIONED MISSIONARIES JEFF AND STEPHANIE BYS AND 7 OF THEIR CHILDREN. IN 2023 WE HAVE CONTINUED TO TAKE IN MORE AT-RISK CHILDREN INTO BOTH OUR MERCY CHILDREN'S HOME AND OUR MERCY CHRISTIAN ACADEMY AND EXPANDED OUR SERVICES TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY TO AVERT SERIOUS CRISIS AS DROUGHTS CONTINUE TO AFFECT KENYA. WHILE CONTINUING OUR AID TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY THROUGH GOSPEL TRAINING, FEEDINGS AND CARE FOR THE NEEDY, WE USED MUCH OF THE YEAR TO BUILD UP NEEDED CAMPUS FACILITIES INCLUDING A LARGE DINING/MEETING HALL AND GREW THE HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS. MANY MANY BADLY NEEDED COSTLY UPGRADES WERE COMPLETED WHILE STILL TAKING CARE OF HUNDREDS OF POOR CHILDREN AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS. THESE COSTS INCLUDE, PAYING FULL TIME STAFF, MONTHLY MEAT BUDGET AND FOOD BUDGETS FOR OVER 200 PEOPLE WEEKLY.
FOOD AND CLOTHING COSTS FOR THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING WIDOWS AND STREET ORPHANS. MONTHLY TRIPS TO TAKE FOOD BASKETS, CLOTHING FOR CHILDREN AND ITEMS TO LOCAL HOSPITALS FOR THE NEEDY
DUE TO THE INSTABILITY OF ELECTRICAL POWER IN KENYA, ALONG WITH THE HIGH COSTS OF RUNNING A GENERATOR, THE BOARD DECIDED TO INSTALL A COMPLETE SOLAR PANEL ARRAY AND BATTERY BACK UPS TO RUN THE WHOLE COMPOUND AT ABOUT 90% COVERAGE. THIS MADE FINANCIAL SENSE AND WAS GOOD STEWARDSHIP OF THE CHARITIES DONATIONS AS IT COULD COST UP TO 5,000 A MONTH TO PROVIDE FUEL FOR THE GENERATOR WHEN POWER OUTAGES OCCURED
REMODELED THE BATHROOMS FOR STUDENTS AND CHILDREN WHO LIVE FULL TIME IN THE ORPHANAGE. UPDATED AND IMPROVED SANITARY CONDITIONS, INCLUDING ADDING HANDWASHING STATIONS
