Mercy Centre is a shelter for street kids, five orphanages, a 300-pupil kindergarten, a community meeting place, and a serene haven in the slums with small gardens and playgrounds. Originally built on a former Buddhist Temple site on port authority property, Mercy Centre has stood in some shape or form for nearly 50 years. In 2000, it was rebuilt through a generous gift to accommodate our expanding services to orphans, street children, and children living with HIV/AIDS.
