It is important to note that we recruit pregnant women at various stages of their pregnancy between 2 to 8 months. These women were not enrolled in any healthcare services and had no plans to do so because of poverty.

We also want you to know that one hundred percent of donations made to Merciful Hearts Foundation are used to directly help poor pregnant women, infants, and children who do not receive medical care.

Your support is not only invaluable to the Foundation but boosts our confidence in carrying out the Foundation's objectives. Through your generosity, we can provide even better care for those poor mothers and infants. We have seen many lives changed for the better because of the programs and services you are helping us provide.
