The Problem
Poverty is growing. Nearly 100 million people have entered poverty since the start of the 2020 pandemic. This reversal of so much poverty-alleviation progress makes our mission urgent. Currently, we partner with more than 8,000 frontline churches in 27 countries to serve more than 2.2 million children. At each Compassion child development center, children receive nutritious meals, educational support, medical care, and love and encouragement from their pastor and center staff. Yet even in just those countries we currently work in, over 170 million more children in desperate poverty need us. And the only thing stopping us from helping them is our own capacity to grow.
