Our Story

About
Mercy Institute

Founded in 2024 with a simple yet profound conviction: every orphaned child deserves a safe home, a quality education, spiritual grounding, and a genuine chance at a dignified life.

Our Mission

Creating a Safe Environment
Where Children Thrive

It is estimated that globally, 153 million children are orphaned, having lost one or both of their parents. A large portion of these children reside in Bangladesh, particularly in its remote villages — trapped in a cycle of poverty with no way out due to a lack of education and skills.

In 2024, Mercy Institute was founded with the mission of creating a safe environment for these children. Our goal is to provide them with housing, nourishment, structured education, social support, and valuable skills that prepare them for a productive future — giving each child a fair chance when opportunities arise.

While we aim to help as many orphans as possible, we are fully committed to providing quality education and training at every step. We plan to expand gradually, ensuring that every child who comes through our doors receives nothing less than our full dedication.

Our Vision

Educated, Spiritually Grounded, Self-Sufficient Adults

We envision a future where every child who passes through Mercy Institute grows up to be an educated, spiritually grounded, skilled, and confident adult — one who can support their family, contribute positively to their community, and inspire the next generation. We believe that investing in a child today is investing in the future of Bangladesh and the broader Muslim community.
