Diarrhea claims more than 1600 lives each day. Illiteracy and lack of knowledge about basic hygiene continue to affect the health of children and […]
There’s something different about Angelik. She’s a dedicated student. She ranks among the top Accounting majors in the Far Eastern University in the Philippines. She is the Divine Covenant Student Centre’s first Leadership Development student. With all these demands on her time, Angelik is a very busy young woman. But that doesn’t stop her from […]
The thirteenth year of a girl’s life should be a time of dreams, hope and excitement. She’s somewhere between childhood and adulthood, learning to figure out life, engaging in friendships, working on her studies. It’s certainly not the time to get married.

You all are so generous that last year Compassion Canada raised $1.1 million to respond to various needs around the world through Gifts of Compassion. That’s exciting stuff! But we don’t just want to have good intentions. We want to make sure we’re doing things in the best way possible. That’s why our smarty-pants researchers just […]
Last year, you put smiles on kids from Mexico to India with a special Christmas gift—and you helped children in a remote village in Ghana celebrate Christmas for the first time ever! Here’s a little peek into the smiles you sparked on Christmas.

Denis’ father died in Haiti’s disastrous earthquake of 2010. His aunt Paulette is raising him, even though she already has five grown children of her own.
