Bala mercy childrens centre [bmcc] was established informally in 1999/2000 by bishop Domnic O.Ochoo, while doing pastoral work and evangelizing , the same community where the main centre is established , in the early years of between the 80s and 90s from 1992,to 2000s there were the rates of hiv/aids was so high that the rate of deaths were 700 aday, .and it was while pasturing in the greater bala village in koyugi location, that in one days, we conducted five funerals of those who died from hiv/aids later the families left children and due to stigma associated with hiv/aids , no one was willing to take in the children who left orphans. This why bmcc was started , and from 10,to 20 , and the number grew to over 400 in one location.
Bala Mercy children’s centre is registered not for profit Ngo in the year 2002/-2003 operating the children’s centers, CARE CENTRES, and schools for the disadvantage ,and the very needy children. Drawn from the streets, beaches, and others.

Even though the centre supports the very needy children and mostly orphans , the centre does not operate children intuitions’ care, The centre promotes the African way of helping the children whose parents died through the families placement program where the children are placed with families , such distant relatives, foster families, and the church community who are willing to take in the children in need, in some cases the children are placed with the elderly persons, widows, and other care givers, this way the centre promotes love and care within the family units.
