By remembering Mercy Ships in your will, you will continue to spread hope and healing to some of the poorest countries in the world for generations to come.

A legacy gift for Mercy Ships can help create a bright future for children, young people and adults, long- suffering from treatable conditions, freeing them from their pain, disability or disfigurement and giving them a joyful homecoming, returning to school, work, family and community!

Your legacy gift can save the life of children like Djaliou.

When she brought her five month old son to Mercy Ships, Djaliou's mother, Sara told us, "My son will die without surgery please help him live."  Djaliou received the free surgery needed to remove a tumour mass on his tongue, and today is a happy boy with a long, healthy life ahead of him.

Your gift can help desperate people like Sambany, who had lived for two-thirds of his life of over sixty years with a growing tumour on his face and neck.  He heard about Mercy Ships on the radio and six friends helped carry him for two days to reach the ship.  His 7.46 kg tumour was successfully removed in a long and complicated operation.  After recovery and to the surprise of many he was able to return home to his wife, relieved of the burden he had carried for around forty years.

A legacy of improved health services is left by the hospital ship, Africa Mercy after each port visit, due to training and professional mentoring given by Mercy Ships medical teams.  Your legacy gift can help build capacity in local health services and in sharing knowledge, skills and good practice in hospitals in Africa.

Help us to equip a new hospital-ship to impact more lives.  In 2021 a new 'ship of mercy' will serve alongside Africa Mercy to save and change tens of thousands more lives, and to provide mentoring, training and education for many more local medical and healthcare professionals.

Your legacy gift for Mercy Ships can have a lasting impact for many future generations!
