About

Mercy Ships was founded in 1978 by Don Stephens with the purchase of the Anastasis, where he and his family lived for ten years. During his presidency he led thousands of volunteers from over 60 nations and staff in offices in 16 countries.

Since 2007 the Africa Mercy has conducted 17 field services across West and Central Africa, Madagascar and South Africa. The Global Mercy, completed in 2022, more than doubled the organization's capacity for free surgeries and training, and has conducted 3 field services in Senegal and The Gambia, then Sierra Leone.
