Communities in northern Uganda can thrive with your help.

Our sustainable, locally-led projects increase access to food security, clean water, healthcare and income generation after decades of civil war.

Our Story

Love Mercy was formed in 2010, when Australian Olympian Eloise Wellings met Ugandan Olympian and former child soldier, Julius Achon.

After competing in the Olympics and building a life in the USA, Julius returned home to Uganda. His community were suffering in famine, and Julius and Eloise vowed to help.

Since 2010, with your help, we’ve made a real impact.
