ABOUT THE SERVANTS OF THE DIVINE MERCY

HISTORY
In June of 1985, a group of 42 young members in the Philippines dedicated their lives to make a promise for simplicity, obedience and purity. They envisioned an establishment for the renewal and the transformation of the society through a variety of community outreach. The establishment grew and the “Servants of the Divine Mercy Foundation” was formed. It serviced arms, which facilitated the youth, young professionals, family life and children and aided the indigenous people.

A few years later, five hectares of land were donated to the foundation. Missionaries and volunteers from all walks of life joined in to cultivate the land and to inspire its people. It was apparent that shelter, food, clothing and education were extremely inadequate. They built a small dwelling to serve as an area to teach and educate the children. It also became a place for families for spiritual gatherings.

In addition, some areas were secured to raise livestock and vegetable plantations to support the poor surrounding communities. The hope is to expand and utilize the land in the near future to build health care facilities to administer medical assistance and create housing for orphans in need.

WHY HELP?
A strong typhoon has devastated the smallest resources that the communities have long toiled to build. The intensity of the storm ransacked the limited livelihood that these people depend upon. Raising funds to rebuild the facilities and bring back the means to feed, to protect and to hoist the fallen community from the furrow they are in.
