Rose Diggs
Founder
Having seen the impact of addiction and homelessness in her native country, Liberia, and while working in the mental health field in the US, Rose knew she had to do more. Individuals who are homeless and have an addiction have even worse outcomes in under-resourced communities in Africa. She combined her knowledge and skills to form Mercy, a foundation supporting local organizations in West Africa helping these individuals.
​
Beyond her professional duties, Rose is the Director of the children's ministry at her church, teaching the next generation the importance of showing compassion. She also volunteers tirelessly, embodying the immense power of community support. Now, she brings her passion and expertise to Mercy, where we, as a community, can create positive change for those in need. Join us in making a difference today.
