Tamil Nadu and Bihar

Where we work

Tamil Nadu and Bihar — the two places we can genuinely evidence, and how new locations will appear.

We would rather show you two places we can evidence than a map of the whole country.


This page separates what is running now from what has already been completed, and says plainly where we have not worked yet. A state appears below only once work there has genuinely begun.

Current operations

Tamil Nadu

Our longest-standing area of work, and where most of the last decade happened.

What runs here

  • Zakah distributions for vulnerable families and individuals
  • Family food parcels
  • Widow support
  • Elderly support
  • Old-age-home assistance
  • Special Cases as they are added

Expanding into

The Trust was registered in 2025 to extend this work beyond Tamil Nadu and Bihar. As each new location opens it will be added here with what is running, who it reaches and what has been spent — not before.

If you work with a community that needs us, or you represent an organisation that wants to bring the Mercy Outreach model to your district, talk to us about partnering.
