Overview

Mission

Releasing Children From Poverty in Jesus' Name. What Does Child Sponsorship Provide? Child sponsorship introduces children to Jesus, showing them the truth of the good news in action through critical care. Child sponsorship equips a child with education, medical care, safe community, protection from abuse, nutrition support, disaster relief and a voice of their own. As a child sponsor, you’ll be a powerful encourager, praying for and writing letters to your sponsored child — life-changing reminders of God’s love and hope. Your monthly donation enables local pastors, tutors and volunteers to care for and protect a vulnerable child in their community.

Compassion International is a Christian charity that releases children from poverty in Jesus’ name through church-driven child sponsorship. Through local church pastors, volunteers, and sponsors, Compassion introduces children to Jesus in action and provides education, medical care, nutrition support, protection from abuse and exploitation, and disaster relief when crises strike. The organization partners with local churches in impoverished communities across Africa, Asia, Central America, the Caribbean, and South America, aiming to help vulnerable children reach freedom from child poverty in Jesus’ name.
