Compassion Nurturers FAQs
Find answers to common questions and learn how your monthly support empowers mothers and gives babies a healthy start in the world’s most vulnerable communities.
Compassion Nurturers is a monthly recurring gift that nurtures at-risk moms and babies. Your gift helps moms and babies thrive from pregnancy through the babies’ first birthdays!
Nurturers begins as a one-year experience. The year culminates in celebrating the babies who have reached their first birthday as strong, healthy little ones during your time as a Nurturer! After this first year, you can either sponsor a specific 1-year-old who has benefited from your support to the Nurturers program, or you can continue nurturing more moms and babies currently going through the program (another one-year commitment).
Nurturers focuses on Kenya, Togo, Burkina Faso and Ethiopia, where moms and babies in extreme poverty face unique challenges: Many moms struggle to get adequate health care, and little ones are often born with dangerously low weights and are at risk of having stunted growth. For example, only 25% of moms in these four countries receive enough prenatal care, compared to 65% of moms in poverty and more than 85% of moms in the U.S.
