2022 has been a year of promises fulfilled and hope realized. Thanks to you, Mercy Ships and local partners provided more than 2,000 life-changing surgeries and trained more than 1,100 health care workers.
Thank you for your support in 2022!
The entire Mercy Ships team thanks you for your generous support in 2022!
We are so grateful to have you “on board” with us. Your presence with us helps us transform lives and leave thousands of smiles in the wake of our hospital ships.
Our humanitarian reach in a few figures, thanks to your donations and your volunteer commitment:
- More than 1.200 volunteers from 65 countries
- Over 200 Senegalese crew members (Day Crew)
- 186 local partners
- 2.312 surgical operations
- 194 participants in training courses for a total of 24’529 hours of training.
- including 53 future dentists trained
- 87 farmers trained in sustainable nutritional agriculture

In 2023, we will multiply our humanitarian impact
In 2023, with invitations to serve in three West African countries, your support is more important than ever. Thank you for choosing to Make Your Mark with us.
The Africa Mercy has recently joined the Global Mercy in Tenerife, where both ships are gearing up for next year. Soon the Global Mercy will return to Dakar to welcome patients from Senegal and Gambia, while the Africa Mercy enters a period of maintenance in South Africa, enabling her to serve alongside her sister ship for many years to come! In the second half of the year, she will travel to a new country to bring hope and healing!
We look forward to experiencing all of this with you by our side!
