What This Gift Provides

When steady work is hard to find, starting a small business can give a family new hope. This gift helps parents start or rebuild a business through hands-on training, mentoring and support from their local Compassion center.  

It’s a practical way to help a family earn income and take meaningful steps out of poverty. 

Business Training

Parents learn skills like bookkeeping, sewing, farming or baking, along with business training to help them effectively start and run a small business.

Guidance

Local church staff offer encouragement, mentoring and practical help so families are equipped and supported every step of the way. 

Stability

A small business helps families earn steady income to meet their daily needs and plan for a more secure future.
