Love Mercy Foundation

Last month, 47 women received Family Planning support at the Kristina Health Centre. Family planning services are crucial in Uganda as they lead to safer births and better outcomes for both mothers and children. Access to family planning services empowers women, enabling greater participation in education, the workforce, and other aspects of society. Smaller family sizes help to alleviate the economic burden on families. Fewer dependents mean that family resources can be stretched further, improving the wellbeing. Additionally, by reducing the number of unplanned pregnancies, family planning services can ease the strain on the healthcare system, allowing resources to be allocated more efficiently. Thank you for your support of this vital service in northern Uganda. #LoveMercy #KristinaHealthCentre #FamilyPlanning #WomensHealth #EmpowerWomen #HealthcareAccess

Did you know our co-founder, Julius Achon, was the captain and flag bearer for Uganda at the 1996 and 2000 Olympic Games? 🏅 As we head into the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, we commemorate and celebrate the efforts of all athletes who work tirelessly to break down barriers and foster global unity, just like Julius. At Love Mercy, we believe sport has the unique ability to transcend differences, promote peace and mutual understanding, empower individuals, uplift communities, and drive social change. Let's celebrate the spirit of the Olympics and its role in building a more peaceful and prosperous world in 2024 🌍✨ #Olympics2024 #GlobalUnity #LoveMercy

In just under 8 weeks, 20 runners are participating in the 2024 TCS Sydney Marathon to raise money for clean water in Uganda. For many of them, this will be their first time running a marathon! Their goal is to raise money to fund 8 new wells in Uganda - a country with one of the lowest rates of clean water access in the world. At it's current rate, Uganda won't reach the same level of access to safe, clean, drinking water as Australia currently has until the next century. Let's support the Sydney Marathoners on their incredible journey as they raise funds and awareness to bring clean water to hundreds of families in northern Uganda.

🐐🌍 Exciting news from Uganda! 🌍🐑 The Love Mercy Uganda team have been busy distributing goats and sheep to several communities as part of additional Income Generating Activities (IGAs). Through Cents for Seeds, we encourage participants to work together in small groups of around 30 women on projects designed to provide additional income for their community. IGAs help communities become more resilient to economic shocks and environmental changes, providing a more stable and predictable source of income. IGAs play a vital role in enhancing economic stability, improving quality of life, and fostering sustainable development. The excitement on the ground is a testament to the positive impact these programs are having! Thank you to our community for supporting IGA groups that help diversify income opportunities within our Cents for Seeds program.
