Mercy Ships Australia (a key member of the Mercy Ships global partnership) was founded in 2001. A global charity that has operated hospital ships in developing nations since 1978, bringing hope and healing to the forgotten poor by mobilising people and resources worldwide, Mercy Ships serves all people without regard for race, gender or religion.
A dream that began in a young man’s heart has become a reality — a state-of-the-art hospital ship that delivers hope and healing to people around the globe living in dire circumstances.
Mercy Ships uses state-of-the-art hospital ships that deliver free, world-class health care services, capacity building and sustainable development aid to those without access in the developing world. Founded in 1978, Mercy Ships has worked in more than 70 countries providing services valued at more than $1.66 billion, with more than 2.77 million direct beneficiaries. Each year, more than 1,000 volunteers from over 40 nations serve with Mercy Ships. Professionals including surgeons, dentists, nurses, health care trainers, teachers, cooks, seamen, engineers, and support staff donate their time and skills to the effort. Mercy Ships seeks to transform individuals and serve nations one at a time.
HOW DONATIONS ARE ALLOCATED
Mercy Ships is committed to being completely transparent with you. From every $1 donation, 87c goes straight to our Ship and Field Operations to provide surgeries and medical care to those who have no other hope. As little as 13c is set aside for the cost of raising volunteers and funds and overhead expenses.
