Mercy Ships runs the two largest charity hospital ships in the world, the Global Mercy and the Africa Mercy.
The hospital ships sail directly to ports in sub-Saharan Africa, bringing free, life-changing surgeries to women, men and children.
In sub-Saharan Africa, the need is great. Surgery can cost more than many earn in an entire year, pushing families deeper into poverty.
Fortunately, almost half of the world’s population lives within 100 miles of a coast. That’s why Mercy Ships uses state-of-the-art hospital ships to bring free medical care directly to the places they’re needed most.
Mercy Ships volunteers perform thousands of surgical procedures every year, from blindness to bowed legs, cleft lips to facial tumours.
Together we’re bringing hope and healing
Mercy Ships life-changing work wouldn’t be possible without partners like Spinnaker Global, and many more across the maritime industry.
From gifts-in-kind to recruiting volunteers with maritime expertise, Spinnaker provides vital investment and support to the charity.
