A FULLY EQUIPPED SANCTUARY FOR RESTORATION
Ethan Mercy Rehabilitation &
Skills Acquisition Center.
Goal: A fully equipped center to train only repented prisoners in marketable skills before they rejoin society.
THE CRISIS WE ARE SOLVING
Breaking Nigeria's 70% Ex-Inmate Relapse Cycle
Over 70% of ex-inmates in Nigeria relapse within 3 years due to stigma, lack of skills, and no economic support. Rivers State correctional facilities are overcrowded, and many repentant prisoners are released without tools to rebuild their lives. This cycle fuels recidivism, insecurity, and strain on state resources.
