Provide Aid When Disaster Strikes
Disasters strike without warning. Earthquakes, floods, storms, conflict and hunger can upend a child’s life overnight. When a crisis hits in a community where Compassion serves, your gift helps ensure children and families are not left waiting for help.
Because the local church is already present, trusted and connected, aid can reach children quickly to bring comfort, care and hope in the very first hours after disaster.
Millions of people are threatened by disasters each year, especially children living in poverty.

Your gift helps the local church respond immediately.
When catastrophe strikes, children and families urgently need help. In communities facing poverty, most families have no savings to fall back on, no margin to recover on their own.
Your donation equips local churches to respond right away and to meet immediate and critical needs such as food, clean water, safe shelter and medical care.
Your Contributions Are Stewarded Wisely
Every gift you give through Compassion is handled with integrity and care. We follow strict financial guardrails to ensure accountability, transparency and the flexibility to invest wisely for long-term impact. Here’s a brief explanation of how funds are allocated:
In fiscal year 2025, 80% of every dollar went straight to program work through our local church partners — including education, medical care, nutrition, child protection and sharing God’s love with children living in poverty and their families.
