Mercy Appeal is a registered charity in Sri Lanka dedicated to providing critical support to vulnerable communities across the country. Our mission is to address the pressing needs of those suffering from poverty, lack of access to basic services, and social exclusion. We focus on sustainable development projects that create long-lasting change, improving lives through clean water, education, orphan care, and economic empowerment.
Mercy Appeal runs a series of impactful campaigns throughout the year to address the most urgent needs of vulnerable communities in Sri Lanka. Our campaigns are designed not only to provide immediate relief but also to create sustainable, long-term improvements in the lives of those we serve. Whether it’s responding to an emergency or supporting families through seasonal giving, our campaigns offer a direct way for supporters to make a difference.

Over the years, Mercy Appeal has transformed the lives of countless individuals and families throughout Sri Lanka. From installing life-saving water pumps in drought-stricken villages to providing education to orphaned children and vocational training for women, our projects aim to create lasting, positive change.
Our work has reached every corner of Sri Lanka, from the Northern and Eastern Provinces affected by past conflicts to the tea estate regions of the Central Province, where poverty remains a significant challenge. By focusing on both immediate relief and long-term solutions, we help communities become self-reliant and build a better future for themselves.
At Mercy Appeal, we believe that real change comes from empowering individuals and communities. Our approach is built on the principles of sustainability, compassion, and transparency. We don’t just provide temporary relief; we equip people with the tools and skills they need to achieve lasting independence.
We work closely with local partners, community leaders, and international donors to ensure that our projects are tailored to the unique needs of each community. Whether it’s building a new school, providing small business grants, or responding to a natural disaster, we ensure that every project is designed for long-term success.
Mercy Appeal is powered by a dedicated team of staff, volunteers, and partners who share a passion for making a difference. From our project managers on the ground to our donors and supporters around the world, each member of our team plays a vital role in delivering hope and relief to those in need.
We are proud to work alongside local and international partners who help us extend our reach and enhance our impact. Together, we are creating a future where every person has the opportunity to thrive.
