How Child Sponsorship Through Compassion Works

Many child sponsorship organizations exist; however, we do sponsorship differently by putting the gospel first.  

Your support helps release children from poverty through programs that are:  

  • Christ-centered: Every child in our program hears the gospel and sees it in action through local church pastors, volunteers and sponsors. 

  • Church-driven: We empower local churches to serve children in need, fulfilling their role as consistent sources of light and hope. 

  • Child-focused: We release children from poverty in Jesus’ name. As children grow into thriving followers of Jesus, they transform their families, communities and nations. 

Frequently Asked Questions

When you sponsor a child with Compassion International, you help equip a child with the support and opportunities they need to journey out of poverty. 

We partner with a local church in the child’s community to care for their overall well-being, mind, body and soul. Through the church, we introduce each child to the hope found in Jesus while providing the practical care they need to thrive, from medical care to an education. 

When children are cared for in this way, they’re empowered to leave poverty behind and inspire others around them to do the same.
