What This Gift Provides

For many babies in poverty, the first year is risky. Little ones are vulnerable and can’t get medical care, making that first birthday a milestone not all will reach.

Your gift supports mothers with prenatal care, medical checkups, nutrition and vocational training through the local church, setting them up for a stable future.

At age 1, children can be enrolled in Compassion’s Child Sponsorship Program for continued care.

Skilled Care

Provide mothers with medical checkups, experienced and life-saving birth attendants and postnatal support through the local church.

Nutrition

Supply nutritious food to strengthen both mother and child, setting a foundation of healthy growth and development.

Training & Support

Help mothers gain new vocational skills, confidence and support through community, and parenting guidance.
