Sharing the Joy of Sponsorship

The joy you get from that life-changing relationship with the child you sponsor is too good to keep to yourself. Get ready to share child sponsorship with others!

SHARE YOUR PASSION ... CHANGE A LIFE!

It’s a powerful thing to invite others into the transformative journey of child sponsorship. You’re changing both the lives of the potential sponsors, and the precious children who are waiting for a loving sponsor.

Here you’ll find resources to help you share about child sponsorship online, talk about it one-on-one with the people in your life, present to a large group or your church family, or help your church explore opportunities to partner with Compassion in a customized way.

Did you know poverty affects what childhood looks like? To be a child in poverty means to live without. Without choices. Without a voice. Without hope. Without basic needs like education, health, and well-being, childhood poverty can have long-lasting effects. What are the common experiences that children in poverty face on a day-to-day basis? Walk in their shoes and click here to learn more about child poverty.

16,000 kids die from hunger-related causes... every. single. day. What if YOU can do something about it? Act for Compassion exists to help you create online campaigns to take action to release children from poverty. Whether you raise funds or awareness, volunteer your time or give up your birthday... It all starts with one act.

Speak up with Compassion

“Speak Up with Compassion focuses on giving children a voice and making sure that people who make decisions about children understand the importance of children. ... If God puts a child in your life for as little as 60 seconds, you have the chance be the one who says the right thing and does the right thing that launches that child’s life.” – Dr. Wess Stafford, President Emeritus of Compassion International
