About Us
The Wings of Mercy vision began years ago when founder Roger Molera was at college in India. A devout Christian, his dream was to make a difference to the lives of Kenyan adults and children living and dying in poverty.
Wings of Mercy is a community based organisation working in many of the slums surrounding the city of Nairobi. Millions of people including a high percentage of children live in poverty in the Nairobi slums.
Wings of Mercy works with communities based in the Nairobi slums and surrounding villages.
Wings of Mercy empathises with the plight of the oppressed, under- priviliged and vulnerable members of communities by creating an enabling environment for positive change. This is through building and establishing value systems, and institutions and by empowerment, making our world a better place to live.
We aim to impact positively on communities living in difficult conditions through sharing information, training and empowerment.
