Why Sponsor a Waiting Child With Compassion?
At Compassion, we do child sponsorship differently. Our programs are:
Christ-centered: Every child in our program hears the gospel and sees it in action through local church pastors, volunteers and sponsors around the world.
Church-driven: We empower local churches in impoverished communities to serve children in need. These churches become consistent sources of light and hope, representing Christ, making disciples in their communities and caring for children as they grow.
Child-focused: We care for each child’s unique right-now and long-term needs. Given the care they need, children become thriving followers of Jesus, transforming their families, communities and nations.
