2022 Accountability Report Cover

2022 Accountability Report >

As a Christ-centered charitable organization, we strive to be good stewards of the resources you entrust to us. Our financial accountability, reporting processes, and results around the globe are consistently commended. With God’s blessing and your ongoing support, we will continue working to release as many children as possible from poverty in Jesus’ name.

In 2020, we began publishing an Accountability Report. This report describes the work of Compassion in a way that provides greater transparency to the way we operate and deliver impact as a ministry. We believe this is a more complete response to our stakeholder needs, along with the continued publication of our audited financial statements.

PUT YOUR DOLLARS TO WORK BY SPONSORING A WAITING CHILD

A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.

- Proverbs 11:25

WHAT COMPASSION SPONSORS ARE SAYING

Compassion Sponsor
Sponsorship changes lives-Theirs & Yours
We have been blessed to sponsor youth ranging from 2 -22 years old for five years. Compassion has become our personal ministry. Becoming an important person to/from our sponsored youth is humbling. We have grown as Christians through prayer and letter writing to our sponsored youth. Compassion is dedicated to full financial disclosure and accountability and we believe and support the local church student center/project (our sponsored youth attend) - this is how Jesus taught us to serve.

The best thing happened to me
This is simply the greatest thing you could do with 38 dollars. The child knows you, and your money goes directly to the kid you sponsor. We are releasing children from poverty. Thank You Jesus for giving me this opportunity. I have never heard anyone telling a single bad thing about Compassion, either in their Facebook page or in any websites or blogs.

Great Program
I put a lot of research into a program that would ensure the money I'm contributing is indeed helping children. Compassion met my expectations and I also know two Pastors who recommended this organization. I began sponsoring two children about four years ago and Compassion has exceeded my expectations. I get communication about and from each of the children. I love watching them grow and being able to help in some small way. I like that this is a faith based organization changing lives.
