Our Mercy Works Christmas 2021 Appeal is to support our new project “Creating Change for Women through Advocacy” in Cebu city in the Philippines. 

Of 10,000 women working as prostitutes in Cebu, half are aged between 11- 17 years old. 

Mercy Works has partnered with the Villa Maria Good Shepherd Sisters to deliver the project which offers ongoing healing, safety, education and ways to give a confident voice to women who have exited from prostitution and are survivors of human trafficking. 

You can help break the crippling cycle of human trafficking this Christmas. With your generosity Mercy Works can continue to support the women in Cebu city as they work together towards rebuilding their lives and replace fear and sorrow with newfound joy and hope. 

Mercy Works is hoping to raise $46,000 to support this project.

Donate and make a difference!
