After having an epiphany about mercy, the House of Mercy was established and constituted on July 1st, 2020. The cause of extending acts of mercy was inspired by the scripture "2 Samuel 9vs 1."
Families were given food hampers from the co-founders' pockets, which sparked the idea to send donations. It served as the catalyst for the subsequent cause. House of Mercy began the cause to feed widows after focusing on the life of the family patriach, a wonderful generous lady and grand mother, Matilda, a widow who raised 8 grand- children on her own.
"Remembering to Feed Widows" is a cause closely connected to our hearts, as we have seen widows struggling to make ends meet on many occasions. The global pandemic that has resulted in a rise in food costs that is out of control for even the most average person and has made 2020 even more difficult. House of mercy vowed to support widows and distributed food hampers to 11 families in December 2020 as an initial start.
House of Mercy,formally started its operations in Middlesbrough for the purpose of improving social welfare and providing educational projects to both UK and international locations.
