About the Mercy Center

Mercy Center is a charity center that has been working in the social field since 1989.

The main direction is to help children and disadvantaged families who experience alcohol and / or drug addiction and are in a difficult financial situation, have partial or complete disability.

What kind of children attend the center? – Children whose families may experience moral and/or physical and/or sexual abuse. Children from orphanages and children with special needs.

Why do children need help? – Because such children develop in the wrong mental direction, they do not see the proper / good example, they do not feel support from the family. And for the proper development of the child, his society is very important.

How can the center help? – Mercy Center provides accommodation free of charge for children and their parents, where children receive two meals a day; do homework with teachers; conduct developmental conversations about the dangers of alcohol, drugs and cigarettes; attend language circles and circles of interest. Older children from 12 years old take care of the premises, help teachers keep order in the center and, thus, adapt to adult life.

Our mission is to help children adapt to adult life, protect them from negative consequences, believe in themselves and their strengths, and look at the world with different eyes.

Founder

Thanks to Anatoly Plyushko, who could his dreams come true, appeared this wonderful place – Charity Center or Mercy Center. Here, both children and adults get care, love, and participation in their life. With the help of unconcerned people and Anatoly’s friends, the Center daily supplies essential things for people who need them.

Anatoly grew up in a big Christian family, where love and concern for neighbour were brought up.
How did it go from words and dreams to deeds? Anatoly told that once he had been walking home from a work and he had met a boy who was very poorly dressed and asked to eat something. It gave an impulse of thinking about some place, where children could come and they always knew that they would be fed and dressed. And the most important – they feel love, do not lose hope that there is something amazing in the world and there are good people.
