Orphan Prevention & Hope for Widows
Words that shouldn’t go together: 12-year-old pregnant girls. Indentured teenagers. Child brides. Underage laborers. Survival prostitutes. Orphan-led homes. Violated minors.
When we see them side-by-side, we are offended because innocence and evil shouldn’t commingle. It’s unnatural, unholy, and unacceptable. Sadly, these sickening contradictions often describe the world’s normal.
Subscription Clubs
Fair Trade Friday exists for women to empower women.
We are tackling poverty through dignified jobs, in Jesus’ name.
Fair Trade Friday club members support artisans and their families — thousands of women, men, and children around the world.
Refugee Empowerment
Mercy House Global is located just outside Houston, Texas, a city of more than 70,000 refugees, one of the largest populations in the USA. It employs about ten women who have resettled in Houston. This group of artisans called Local Hope creates candles, spa products, and home decor for our fair trade line. In addition to job creation, we provide programs to support the local refugee community, including ESOL (English Speakers of Other Languages) and empowerment luncheons that offer fellowship and skills training.

WELCOME
I’m Kristen Welch
the founder and CEO of Mercy House Global. After a trip to Kenya in 2010 with Compassion International as a blogger and reading an article about tragic choices vulnerable families were making to survive, I wanted to respond. While in Kenya, I met Maureen Kaderi, a leadership graduate and former sponsored child of Compassion and just four months later we partnered together to begin Mercy House Global in the USA and Rehema Rescue Center in Kenya to provide homes for pregnant girls in crisis. To learn more about this journey, you can read my book, Rhinestone Jesus.
The global and local impact immeasurable.
