Children in crisis need stability and food security.
A gift of $1,000 feeds 10 households in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia or Haiti for one month.
A gift of $5,000 provides one month of food relief for 100 families in other Compassion countries affected by the global food crisis.
A gift of $16,000 provides emergency care for 20 families displaced because of conflict.
The Problem
More than 295 million people are affected by food insecurity due to conflicts, extreme weather and economic shocks, according to the 2025 Global Report on Food Crises.
These crises are worsening in 10 countries where we work, leaving children vulnerable. We estimate at least 115,000 Compassion-assisted families will need relief to survive.
Emergency food distributions, temporary shelter and support to improve long-term food security are essential to protecting children’s health and safety. This work is especially critical for displaced children — a growing need in Haiti, Burkina Faso and Ethiopia— who are relying on support from our church partners to simply survive.
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.
Give Today to Replace Hunger & Fear With Hope
Your gift will be used on the frontlines of this crisis to meet the most pressing needs and bring hope to vulnerable children. With your support, churches will distribute emergency food relief, send emergency cash transfers, train caregivers in income-generation activities and provide other sustainable solutions to hunger.
