Ending child poverty is possible.
For over two million children around the world, Compassion’s proven child development model is helping to break cycles of poverty in families and communities. And it all happens thanks to people who choose to do some good and sponsor a child.

“I have been fundraising for Compassion in my business since November 2020. I decided to donate to Compassion because I absolutely love all the work they do and truly believe in what they are accomplishing.”

“My wife and I have been privileged to call many international boys and girls family by way of Compassion’s child sponsorship program over the years. It has been nothing but joy to be invited to serve in some small way in this God-loved ministry together.”

“Someone once said, ‘it is not how much it costs, but how much it will cause.’ What God is ‘causing’ through Compassion in the lives of children is so tremendous and awe-inspiring, that any cost of volunteering (and there isn’t much) is counted a privilege.”

Sponsor a child
Change a child’s life for good by giving them everything they need to escape poverty. In our child sponsorship model, every child is personally cared for by a local church that empowers them to flourish in all aspects of life—mind, body and spirit—while discovering the goodness and love of Christ.
