Support a Child Waiting for a Sponsor

A child waits an average of three months for a sponsor. By giving, you allow him or her to receive care during the wait.

Unsponsored children need support as they’re waiting for sponsors — often for months

Over 260,000 children are enrolled in Compassion programs without sponsors. Because of your gift, a waiting child will receive the same care as sponsored children right away. Your donation will speak hope into a child’s heart as you stand in the gap until they can be sponsored.

Every Day, Donors Like You Help Children like Valerie

Valerie was enrolled in her local Compassion project for two years while waiting for a sponsor.

During her long and discouraging wait, Valerie wrote a colorful letter to her future sponsor every Thursday while praying for God to send her a real-life sponsor. In two years, Valerie wrote 64 letters to a special person she’d yet to meet. But while she waited and hoped, supporters like you changed her life by providing for her care and support in the Compassion program.

Today, Valerie has a sponsor! She joyfully sends new letters to her sponsor, who now sends pictures and letters back in response. As many more children like Valerie still wait, your donation can give them hope and practical help until this exciting event can happen.
