About Mercy Refugees House

Mercy Refugees House was established in December of 2012 with a generous donations from individuals and foundations in the United States.  Since then, we have helped financially thousands of refugees.  We post our financial assistance on our website on a monthly basis and publish financial annula reports such as this one.

How Different We Are From  Other Non-Profit Organizations Helping Refugees?

1- We provide training online for refugees.
2- We have professional volunteers who help refugees one-on-one online to train them on computer and other skills, preparing them for their future.
3- We are transpaent in our work and income and expenditure; we post our financial assistance reports monthly online to make sure we help people with various backgrounds.
4- None of the officers in charge of the organizations are paid officers and we all work on a volunteer basis
5- We have zero administrative fees; 100% percent of the money donated goes directly to the refugees
