Completing the Course  

There comes a time when each child in a Compassion child development center completes the course and prepares to leave the program. Most often this happens because the child simply reaches the maximum age of the country completion plan. Although we make every effort to keep children in Compassion-assisted programs until completion, there are times when a child leaves the program early. This can happen when:

• Suitable learning activities cannot be provided or the child has a poor attendance record
• A child's parents decide, for varying reasons, that they no longer need or want their child in the program
• The project partnership with Compassion ends and the child cannot be transferred to another project
• A child's home situation improves and Compassion's assistance is no longer needed
• A child begins employment that will not allow fulfillment of project attendance expectations
• The child's parents decide to move to an area without a Compassion project nearby
