Who we are as a non-profit organization
Founded in 1978, Mercy Ships is a global faith-based charity that uses hospital ships and volunteer professionals to deliver free specialized surgical care and medical training to build the local healthcare systems with our host nations, focusing in Africa.
There are 40 million untreated surgical
conditions in sub-Saharan Africa every year.

We believe that sustainable work is to be locally led. Help us bring safe surgeries to the more people
in Africa. The surgical crisis is massive but. But together, we can solve it one life at a time.
