Mercy Home: Mansi

  

Mansi prepares for school with the other Mercy Home girls. 

     At only 9 years old, Mansi is one of the younger girls at the Mercy Home. Like most girls her age, she enjoys drawing, dancing and singing. While she is seen smiling and enjoying life, she was not always this way. Prior to arriving at the Mercy Home, Mansi’s life was completely different.

Mansi helps her friend, Shristi, with homework. 

     Mansi grew up in a small village  with her parents; her mother, a housewife and her father worked as a sweet maker. Unfortunately, gangs from a higher caste overran the village they lived in. After the gangs began to demand money, beat Mansi’s father, and threaten to kill the children, both of her parents knew it was not safe for her to stay in the village. A friend suggested that they take Mansi to the Mercy Home, and although they were hesitant to leave her, Mansi’s parents knew that they needed to keep her safe.                                                    

Mansi and friend, Shristi, read their Bibles before 

school each morning. At the Mercy Home, each girl 

learns about Jesus and His unfailing love. 

Mansi’s story is one of hope, redemption, and love. Since arriving at the Mercy Home, Mansi has opportunities that she would never have had in the village. A little girl, who once lived in fear, now has a nurturing environment to call home and a bright future. She is thriving in a safe, loving atmosphere where she is learning about Jesus and receiving a life changing education. Thanks to the Mercy Home, Mansi is now able to fulfill her dream of becoming a doctor to serve the people of her village.
