About this organization
Mission
Mercy Project seeks to encourage economic development within Ghana to reduce the need for child slavery. The organization focuses on implementing new agriculture – cage fishing – methods in Ghanaian villages, which allows villagers to work without having to utilize child labor. Upon voluntary release of the children from the fishing masters, Mercy Project works to rehabilitate and reintegrate the former slaves with their families, providing for their basic needs including education.
About
Aquaculture projects: Mercy Project provides a village with the construction of fishing cages, fish and fish food, and the education needed to harvest large amounts of fish. The purpose of the fishing cages is to eliminate the village's need of using child labor to fish the lake all day, every day. Even after the release of the village's child slaves, Mercy Project maintains a relationship with the village to assist with fish production and community development with the additional income the fish cages provide.
