• The organization was registered as a non-profit by the NGOs Co-ordination Bureau with Registration Number OP.218/051/2005/011/3430
• Acres of Mercy started out as a place of refuge for teenage mothers, where Catherine and the founding staff began by taking care of their children in a Day Care Centre in October 2005.
• In 2009, the organization then changed its focus to Education, Health and Community mobilization in response to the challenges of poverty, ill health and low literacy level in Nguluni Community.
• The organization currently focuses on working with community and church leaders to make the world a better place for children, with its main mission center being Acres of Mercy Learning Centre in Nguluni, Machakos County, Kenya.
• From the Centre, the organization meets educational needs of children in need, mobilizes local pastors to lead their congregations in nurturing and protecting children and engages in ensuring the community is able to meet the psycho-social, physical, spiritual and health needs of children aged 0-18 years.
