Overview
Mission
The primary exempt purpose of Compassion for Africa is to assist orphans, widows, and vulnerable communities in developing countries as a religious charitable organization with short and long term development projects leading to self-sufficiency.
What it reported doing in 2025
Medical clinic in Namankwan, Ghana. The clinic is staffed by local young women and men who received scholarships from Compassion for Africa to attend school to become Registered Nurses. The clinic serves an area of nearly 50,000 underserved women, men and children. This year we have continued to strengthen the pharmacy associated with the clinic as well as to conduct community health programs.
Operating model

The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filed totals do not add up and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
