Your Donation Provides Life-Changing Education
Many families can’t afford to enroll their children in school due to the high cost of tuition, books and supplies. And some children must work to help provide for their families, instead of going to school.
Your gift provides life-changing education to children in need. With an education, they can dream of and achieve a brighter future for themselves, their families and their communities.
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.
We invest every dollar in one of three ways
Implementing our program today
Inviting the next child (and their supporter) into the program
Sustaining and enhancing our ability to deliver excellent programs
These investments are typically referred to as “Program,” “Fundraising” and “Administrative” expenses, respectively. Compassion’s rigorous annual strategic planning and budgeting process determines the resources allocated to Program, Fundraising and Administration. Our policy is to ensure that 75 to 82 cents on the dollar will always be allocated to Program expenses.
Supporters Like You Help Teens Like Maisha
As a child, Maisha attended primary and secondary school while enrolled in the Compassion program. In high school, he dreamed of a career as a mason.
With masonry skills, he could build a safe home for his family, something he didn’t have growing up. His center staff helped him enroll in and pay for technical school, enabling him to gain the masonry skills he needed.
Now, Maisha is actively working on building homes for his family and those in his community. You can help young adults just like Maisha by donating today.
