Special Dolls with a Special Mission

Some special dolls were made for Show Mercy International with a special mission–to help us silence the cry of injustice!  Purchase of these dolls helps us to positively impact the lives of the children we serve.

Africans love to wear vivid colors and patterns in their native clothing. These dolls were handmade with love in Uganda using a wonderful array of authentic African fabrics of bright shades and happy patterns.  The dolls depict the native styles of Ugandan men and women.  The male dolls look smart wearing their brightly colored pants and tunic tops.  The female dolls are wearing traditional dresses and have tiny babies wrapped up on their backs.  Their faces and curly black hair are all hand stitched.

We believe this unique gift will bring delight to its receiver. One mother who purchased a male doll told us that her son sleeps with his African boy doll each night.  We are encouraged to think that these dolls may also be planting seeds in the hearts of the next generation so that they too will also hear the cry of injustice and help those in need around the world.

We are selling the dolls for $25.00 each, which includes shipping. One hundred percent of the proceeds from doll sales will be used to improve the conditions and daily life of the children we serve.  You will receive a tax receipt for $15 and will also help to support the people of Africa who sometimes make only $1.00 a day in less creative, undependable employment.  Christmas is right around the corner and we have a limited number of African dolls for sale.  We would love to send one to your home for the holidays.
