Disaster Relief 
When catastrophe strikes, the Disaster Relief Fund steps in to restore the lives of sponsored children and their families. Disaster can strike anywhere and, when it does, this program is ready to step in with assistance to provide: food, blankets, shelter and replacement belongings for families struggling to survive a tragedy. Send your tax-deductible donation today to our Christian Disaster Relief Fund.
AIDS Initiative  
HIV/AIDS is still at near-epidemic levels in some nations. Your donation to this fund can help break the devastating cycle of this disease and care for people that are often cast out by society, as well as fund AIDS awareness programs that help staff, partners and families understand and prevent the disease, care for children who have lost their caregiver to AIDS provide treatment, and care for people who already have the disease.
Unsponsored Children 
Want to help ensure that no child gets left behind? Your assistance unlocks the benefits of Compassion's program for children who have been registered but have not yet been sponsored. Your gift to this fund also encourages parents and program staff as they see Compassion benefits at work for the children they love, even as they wait — and hope — for sponsors. Make a tax-deductible donation for the Unsponsored Children's Fund today.
Child Survival Program 

Every day, nearly 28,000* children under age 5 die from malnutrition and other preventable causes. You can help us save the lives of the world's youngest, most vulnerable children and set them on the path toward becoming healthy, thriving boys and girls. This program provides little ones with nutritious food supplements, medical care and developmental opportunities during the critical early childhood years. Please give your tax-deductible donation today.

Compassion hopes to implement additional Child Survival Program projects by June 2006, bringing the total number to 174 in seven countries. Your gift will help us expand this program, run by our existing local Christian church partners, to even more children in the world's most desperately impoverished communities.

Christmas Gift Program 
Can you imagine what Christmas would be like if a child received no presents at all? Sadly, this is the reality for many children. Make a tax-deductible donation and it will be distributed equally among all Compassion-sponsored children. This ensures that each child will receive a meaningful Christmas present. Give today — no single child will be left out.
Peru Earthquake Response Fund 
Compassion Peru staffers and our Peruvian church partners are working around the clock to assess the damage done by the recent 7.9-magnitude earthquake in Peru. They need your help. So far, nine Compassion-assisted child development centers and 1,400 children and their families have been affected in three areas of southern Peru. Staffers and church workers are providing food, water, blankets and spiritual comfort to victims. You can help by giving to the Peru Earthquake Fund today!
Where Most Needed 
Want to make an immediate and lasting impact with your tax-deductible donation? This is the place. Giving here delivers essential support to our ministry worldwide, wherever the need is critical. This fund also steps in when any of our other special funds need a boost.
Leadership Development Program 
There's nothing like seeing a young person emerge from poverty, go to college and return home a true leader. Compassion's Leadership Development Program (LDP) identifies young Compassion-assisted men and women who have shown potential to become Christian leaders who can, in turn, influence their own churches, communities and nations. Your tax-deductible donation assists with college tuition, books and room and board. You can even choose to sponsor a student from one of the countries where this program exists or from a particular academic discipline!
Partners of Compassion 

You can help fund special projects that go far beyond standard child sponsorship and often provide an extra layer of care that can benefit an entire community. This program provides disaster relief for families who have been hit hard by crises, as well as parenting-skill activities, Bibles to share God's love with young children and much, much more. Send your tax-deductible donation today to our Christian child ministry.

Medical Treatment 
Medical care is both a rarity and extremely expensive in impoverished areas. It's simply hard to stay healthy. Your gift covers urgent, health-related needs for any child registered in the Compassion program. Each year, the program provides treatment for scores of children and restores both health and hope.
Philippines Typhoon Response Fund 

On Nov. 30, 2006, Typhoon Durian ravaged the shores of the Philippines, killing hundreds and leaving thousands of families without power and access to clean water and food. Compassion is already providing aid and comfort to the more than 10,000 children and families affected. Please give to the Philippines Typhoon Response Fund to help provide food, water, medicines and hope to families suffering from this disaster. Any excess funds will go to Compassion's Disaster Relief Fund to help other countries when crises hit.

Malaria Intervention Fund 

Send a net. Save a child.

Malaria kills 1 million people each year. Most who die are children. Your gift to the Malaria Intervention Fund will help Compassion-assisted children and their families receive the resources they so desperately need to fight this deadly disease, including:

  • mosquito nets to protect children from mosquito bites
  • prevention education
  • access to medical treatment for those struggling with the disease
Haiti Hurricane Response Fund 

Haiti is in a dire situation after getting hit with three successive storms: Tropical Storm Fay, Hurricane Gustav and Tropical Storm Hanna.

Government officials in Haiti have declared a state of emergency and appealed to the international community for help.

Haiti is also bracing for two new storms, Ike and Josephine, which are predicted to hit the country the week of September 8.

Please donate to help with the substantial relief and recovery efforts.

Global Food Crisis Fund 
The current global food crisis is being called by many a "silent tsunami" that could plunge an additional 100 million people on every continent into hunger. Food prices have risen as much as 100 percent in some countries since 2006. Many of the countries Compassion serves are among those that have been hit hard by rising food prices.
Compassion Partners With Opportunity International to Fight Poverty 
Compassion, the world's leading child development ministry, is partnering with Opportunity International to help more families in need. You can be a part of a multimillion-dollar effort over the next five years to offer families living in desperate poverty the hope of a new life.
