Access to Clean Water in Haiti
Your generous support will help build custom water purification systems at 12 Compassion centres and several community access points in the Saint Raphaël region, ensuring 170 children and their families can access clean, safe water within 30 minutes of their homes—including time spent queuing. The systems will be designed with the unique needs of each community and will utilize wells or spring captures. All impacted children and families will attend training sessions on WASH best practices.
Training for Caregivers in Colombia
Your gift can change lives. With your contribution, 30 caregivers in the La Gloria community will receive 12 months of hands-on training in gastronomy, baking and confectionary skills through the technical training institute SENA. They will also receive entrepreneurship training, equipping each mother to start small businesses, generate income and gain the confidence needed to provide for their children. Participants will have a chance to showcase their products at a business fair.
Where does the money go?
Your donation helps children and families escape poverty for good through life-changing interventions. Your contribution will be delivered through local churches around the world by staff members in the field who know the immediate needs of children, families and communities.
