Serious Stewardship
At Compassion we take stewardship seriously. That's why more than 80 percent of all our expenditures go to program activities for our children. It's also why we insist on:
- Annual audits to show exactly how our income is used
- Regular audits for our country offices
- Program audits to evaluate the effectiveness of our child development programs in the lives of children
