Our Story

Love Mercy was formed in 2010, when Australian Olympian Eloise Wellings met Ugandan Olympian and former child soldier, Julius Achon.

After competing in the Olympics and building a life in the USA, Julius returned home to Uganda. His community were suffering in famine, and Julius and Eloise vowed to help.
