Online Nonprofit Donation

At Compassion, we offer various opportunities to help you improve the lives of poor children.

Child Survival Program

An exciting dimension to Christian child ministry is the Child Survival Program. An online nonprofit donation to this program can reduce the infant mortality rate by providing mothers or primary caregivers with education in the following areas:

• Growth Monitoring
• Oral Rehydration Therapy (ORT)
• Breast Feeding
• Immunization
• Female Literacy

Receiving this education is necessary for mothers and caregivers to properly nourish and care for their infants and young children. An estimated 30,000 children die each day because of malnutrition and preventable illnesses. When you donate money to our charity, you can help reduce this tragic number one child at a time.

Christian Child Sponsorship Program

Of the 2.2 billion children on this planet, 1 billion are currently living in poverty. When you donate to our charity, you have the opportunity to change the life of one deserving little boy or girl forever.

Sponsor a child in need with Compassion and we will connect you to one special child who will know your name, write you letters, but most important of all, he or she will treasure the very thought that you care. By sharing your love and support, you can make a real and lasting difference in a child’s life.

Your tax-deductible donation of just $38 a month will connect your child with a loving, church-based program that offers:

• Educational opportunities
• Health care and supplemental nutrition, if necessary
• Opportunities for safe, healthy recreation
• Opportunities to learn about important life skills
• Most important of all, sponsoring a child will allow your child to hear about Jesus and be encouraged to develop a lifelong relationship with God.

When you donate to our charity as a Compassion sponsor, you become more than a donor to a child in need. You will have the opportunity to become a trusted and loving friend as well.

Selecting a Child to Sponsor

Compassion offers various opportunities to sponsor a child:

• Browse child photos
• Select a child for me
• Search for a child

You can select a child to sponsor by going to our web site and browsing through the photos of hundreds of children who are waiting for a sponsor. While browsing, you can learn more about these children by reading the biographies provided. You can also search for a child who is a certain age, has a specific birthday, or who lives in a particular region or country. Or, if you prefer, you can become sponsor and donate to our charity by having Compassion select a child for you. No matter which selection method you choose, when you become a sponsor you will forever change the life of one special little boy or girl in need.
