Your Donation Helps Us Protect & Care for God's Children
“Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” — Psalm 82:4, NIV
As the hands and feet of Jesus, we’re called to rescue those in need. Children in poverty are at a high risk of kidnapping, trafficking and other dangerous situations.
Through your support, we help our local church partners identify, intervene, protect and support children living in highly vulnerable circumstances.
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.
Your Support Protects Children Like Jefferson and Addison
Twin brothers Jefferson and Addison were abandoned by their mother at just one year old. After their grandmother, Rosita, stepped in to care for them, they were evicted from their home.
The family moved to a remote village without water or electricity. Living in a home made of plastic bags, cooking what little food they had was dangerous. One flame could set the home ablaze.
Rosita registered the boys at the local Compassion center. The staff stepped in, gifting the family with running water, electricity and other essentials. Now, the boys are safe.
