This home is located in the province of East Nusa Teggara in Indonesia. Waikabubak in West Sumba is the second largest city
on Sumba Island.  Mercy Waikabubak children's home of West Sumba has been operating since March 2005. Sumba Island is
economically poor and many people cannot earn enough to survive. This has left a large number of orphans. Without outside
help, they would also perish.

For this reason, Mercy Waikabubak was planted in west Sumba. The
orphan home also serves as a Christian Community Center for the area
that has a a radio station.The older orphans help to run the station.
Many locals have received Christ because of this ministry.

Many of the children living at this home come from impoverished families
from the villages around West Sumba.They are either orphans or have a
sole surviving parent unable to provide for their child's basic daily needs.

The dominant religion of this area is Animism. They worship the false god
Merapu by offering him blood sacrifices of animals. They celebrate Merapu
Holy Day, harvest-time, new home, wedding, and funeral ceremonies. The
people living here speak their own local language and do not typically
understand Bahasa Indonesia, Indonesia's official language.Esau and Dian
Mauleky are the leaders for the Waikabubak Mercy. With great love and
passion for their children, they delight in ministering to the kids and
disciplining them to become future leaders.

The leader are  Marcell  and his wife Merry. They graduated from the school dMAKER,Bali. They have a passionate heart to raise
up a generation of future leaders.
