CENTRAL AMERICA & THE CARIBBEAN

The region hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic was Latin America. Since then, poverty and extreme poverty in the region have reached levels that, previously, had not been seen in over a decade. Despite these setbacks, the economic outlook for Latin America and the Caribbean is expected to improve quickly.

See below for more information on how Compassion is working in Central America and the Caribbean to minister to children and their families as they walk the long road of recovery.

Please note that at this point in time, delays in letters or gifts may be due to other region-specific issues rather than COVID-19. If you sponsor a child in one of these regions, rest assured that we will send you any important updates regarding your sponsored child.
