With your support, more than...
Your faithful support this past year is empowering Compassion to expand our ministry and reach more children in poverty, beginning with Malawi and continuing into Zambia, Cambodia and Myanmar.
In Malawi, more than 1,500 newly registered children are now receiving loving care, guidance and support from 17 local churches who have partnered with Compassion — and we can’t wait to add even more.
As a child, Doreen lived in poverty in Uganda. Then at age 8, she was sponsored in Compassion’s program, which gave her the chance to finish her education. The program helped support her and her family.
After graduating from Compassion and going to college, Doreen wanted to serve God by caring for abused girls in her community. So she started an organization that saves girls from sex trafficking and abuse.
So far this year, her organization has rescued 71 girls and plans to save many more.
Thidaporn is facing a mountain of challenges to get into medical school. The 18-year-old girl has grown up in poverty, and her family doesn’t have any way to cover her future tuition. Her only hope is to receive a scholarship, but scholarships are only given to the top five exam scorers in the country.
At times this year, studying has been so hard that she says she wants to quit. But her sponsor’s encouraging words, “I’m so incredibly proud of you!” keep her going.
A caring, encouraging word from a sponsor doesn’t require much, but it can be just what a sponsored child needs to hear.
We're taking a break from the bad news that can often fill our news feeds to celebrate the GOOD that God has done around the world in 2023.
We’re expanding into new countries and in regions where we are needed most.
In just the countries we currently serve, over 170 million more children in desperate poverty need help. So we’re strategically planning to open new centers in rural areas where the need is greatest.
In the next two years, we plan to open more than 600 new centers in local churches across Africa, Asia and Latin America, and we aim to register 250,000 new children at both new and existing centers.
As a ministry, we feel called to step into the gap by connecting children who desperately need help and care with Christ followers who have the resources to help.
