Compassion began its ministry in Uganda in 1980. Since then, hundreds of thousands of generous people have donated to children in Uganda through our Child Sponsorship Program. Your tax-deductible support to help Ugandan children provides the vital resources these vulnerable children need to escape what is often a generational cycle of poverty successfully.

Your monthly sponsorship donation to help a child in Uganda actually benefits the child's entire family.

  • Children receive nutritious food, medical services, educational tutoring, clean water, extracurricular activities, and service opportunities.
  • Adolescents receive vocational training in carpentry, tailoring, crocheting, etc., so they can help the family and prepare for their future.
  • Parents can participate in adult literacy classes as well as quarterly classes on topics addressing hygiene, parenting, and sanitation. They also have access to income-generation training.

Join with us today. Donate to help children in Uganda. You can make a lasting difference!
