Start Sponsoring a Baby Today!

Your tax-deductible contribution of just $43 a month connects a baby living in need with a loving, church-based Child Sponsorship Program.

You can be the answer to a mother's prayers for her child. Imagine if your baby lived in extreme poverty. You would be desperate to find your baby help to give them a good start in life and would be so grateful to the person who provided her with hope.

Your support provides:

  • Basic Nutrition Clean water, healthy food, vitamins and monthly growth monitoring
  • Health Care Interventions Critical medical resources and immunizations
  • Support and Love Home visits, parenting workshops and infant cognitive support through a local church, trained and equipped to assist children in poverty.

As your baby grows he or she will transition into more age appropriate support including:

  • Medical checkups, which often save lives
  • Nutritious food
  • Health and hygiene training
  • Educational assistance
  • Access to special services like surgeries and disaster relief
  • Mentoring to help children discover their incredible value as God’s children
  • Most important of all, your sponsored child will hear about Jesus Christ and be encouraged to develop a lifelong relationship with God.

The Facts.

  • More than 1 million children under the age of 5 died last year
  • Half of these deaths were preventable or treatable
  • Approximately 45% were due to nutrition-related factors

When you sponsor a baby , you'll receive your child's photo, personal story and a child sponsorship packet by mail in approximately 10 days. 

Sponsoring a baby in need will profoundly change the future for your child, and will change your own life as well.  Your support will help a baby get off to a healthy start in life.  Forever onward your stories will be woven together.

Sponsor a Baby

When you sponsor a baby, you are investing in a child’s future. Compassion's program is:

Church Based – The program works exclusively in partnership with the local churches in developing countries. The churches identify children who need sponsors and coordinate the efforts to help them. Through the local churches, the children learn about Jesus Christ and what His message has to do with them.
