Financial Integrity of Compassion International

Thank you for your unwavering support in 2017. Your gifts make it possible for the children and families we serve around the world to receive transforming care in the name of Jesus.

Dr. Bruce Wydick, professor of economics and international studies at the University of San Francisco, set out to explore if Compassion child sponsorship really works. His team researched the outcomes of 1,840 adults in six countries who were once sponsored through Compassion. The researchers compared these adults’ outcomes with those of more than 8,000 adults who had not been in Compassion’s program as children. Wydick’s independent study found that children in Compassion’s programs are more likely:

1. to stay in school longer.
2. hold salaried, white–collar employment.
3. become leaders in their churches and communities.
4. to finish secondary education and complete a university education.

As a Compassion sponsor, you can be more confident than ever that you are investing in a strategic, effective program that is truly transforming lives. Find out more about this study!
