Special Cases
Individual problems. Personal solutions.
Over a decade of work in India
Reaching the people others overlook.
For over a decade we have supported vulnerable people and communities across India. Today, through Mercy Outreach Social & Educational Trust, we respond to exceptional cases, deliver emergency assistance and build sustainable solutions that transform lives.
Who we are
What we do
Four ways we create change
We find people facing exceptional hardship, respond to the immediate need and, wherever possible, build a lasting solution.
Sustainable Projects
Homes, schools, water and livelihoods built to last.
Emergency Relief
Responding when families need help immediately.
Food & Essential Support
Providing essential food and support to vulnerable households.
Our work has already begun
Transforming a school in Bihar
One of our largest projects in India has been supporting the reconstruction and development of a school serving children from disadvantaged backgrounds in Bihar.
The aim goes beyond repairing a building. It is about creating a safer environment in which children can learn, grow and have opportunities that poverty may otherwise place beyond their reach.
How Mercy Outreach works
More than temporary relief
Find the need → verify the case → provide urgent support → create a sustainable solution → show the impact.

We Build a Solution
Where possible, we address the underlying problem so the individual or family can move towards long-term stability.
Our work over the years
A decade of work, before the Trust existed
Our charitable work in India began long before the Trust was formally registered in 2025. This is the work it was built on.
Zakah distribution
Zakah distributions carried out for eligible vulnerable households and individuals.
Food support for widows
Food parcels provided to vulnerable widows and single-parent households.
Supporting the elderly
Food and essential assistance for elderly beneficiaries living alone.
Old-age-home support
Assistance provided to selected elderly-care facilities.
School reconstruction
Major support towards the reconstruction and development of a school for disadvantaged children.
“Whoever relieves a believer's distress in this world, Allah will relieve his distress on the Day of Judgment.”Sahih Muslim 2699
Zakah
Give your Zakah where it can change a life.
Qualifying Zakah donations are distributed only to verified eligible recipients — households and individuals who meet the conditions, assessed case by case. Zakah funds are held and accounted for separately from general donations.
Zakah distributions in Tamil Nadu are among the longest-running parts of our work, and the experience behind how we assess eligibility today.
Transparency
We publish what we can prove
We would rather show you an empty row than an estimated one. Every registration, figure and audited account appears on the pages below as it is issued — nothing is stated here before then.
Governance
Our registrations, the trustees accountable for your gift, our grievance officer and the policies we work to.
Financials
Audited accounts year by year, with how much reached programmes and how much it cost to run us.
Project reporting
Each completed project publishes what was spent, how many people benefited and what changed — with photographs.
How we verify a case
No case is published, and no funds are committed, before a field assessment has confirmed the circumstances. Where a beneficiary's privacy requires it we withhold the name and say so, rather than inventing one.
Impact Fund
Help make every project possible
The Impact Fund supports the work behind the work — case verification, field visits, administration, technology, monitoring, logistics and the infrastructure required to deliver charitable projects effectively.
Your support allows Mercy Outreach to find more cases, respond faster and build stronger projects across India.
Sustained impact
A school year, a borewell and a course of treatment all take longer than one gift. Regular giving is what lets us commit to them.
Lower cost to deliver
Predictable income means bulk procurement and pre-positioned stock — more relief per rupee, and faster when an emergency hits.
Sadaqah jariyah
Giving that continues. A water point keeps serving long after the month you funded it.
