Nurture two lives at once
Become a Compassion Nurturer to offer Christlike support to vulnerable moms and babies from pregnancy through their first year together.

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.
Comfort moms who are scared and alone, like Marie.
It had been weeks since she last heard from her husband, Christophe. Marie was starting to worry. He’d left their home to work on a faraway farm to earn the extra income his family desperately needed. But the money never came.
Just weeks later, Marie received news that her husband was dead. Heartbroken and four months pregnant, Marie could see only severe suffering in her family’s future. She worried her baby wouldn’t even live long enough to be named.
But then a friend told her about the Compassion Nurturers™ program at a local church that helps moms and babies to thrive.
You can help moms like Marie, who need Christ’s love and a compassionate, helping hand to protect them and their babies.
