Together, we can expand hope and quickly reach more children living in poverty.

Far too many children living in poverty experience abuse, hunger and hopelessness. God calls us to shine light into this darkness, bringing the love and hope of Jesus to more children.

Our approach to helping children escape extreme poverty

Jesus is at the center of everything we do, so every child in our program hears the gospel and sees it in action through local church pastors, volunteers and sponsors around the world.

“Compassion is a multiplier of opportunities to change lives. Compassion creates opportunities for us to use our resources as tools for good, for us to do something incredibly meaningful for the greater good. And because Compassion has been at this for such a long time, they have the systems and structure in place, and they have the accountability, which is why it is so effective in its mission. "
