Emergency Food and Water

In a desert community in northern Colombia, clean water is scarce and expensive. Families there often gather water from contaminated sources. The situation became worse when the COVID-19 crisis hit. Lockdowns forced many caregivers out of jobs, so families could not get safe water and were also going hungry. But thanks to generous friends like you, the local Compassion church partner was able to provide emergency food and water to each Compassion-assisted child and their family. “I am happy because yesterday there was nothing to eat, and today we’re going to eat because they brought us food,” says Aldivio, a Compassion-assisted child in this community.
