Compassion International
WHAT MAKES COMPASSION DISTINCT
6,700 international church partners. 1,800,000+ sponsored children. 65+ years serving children in Jesus' name.
Jesus is the core of our ministry and his life and teachings shape our programs. They reflect the spiritual commitments of our staff. And they guide how we love people, respect communities and cooperate with nations.
Child development through Compassion is all about the individual child. Each one receives the holistic care they deserve to realize their full, God-created potential in life. It is only through a careful blend of physical, social, economic and spiritual care that a child can fully mature in every facet of life and transcend a legacy of poverty.
Compassion partners with indigenous local churches for effective child development. We believe the strategic placement of local churches makes them best suited to address the holistic needs of the children in their communities. And only they can effectively deliver the Jesus-based teaching and whole-life care that children in poverty deserve.
Beyond our three Cs, we further affirm a commitment to integrity with the following.
We affirm these commitments to each person that sponsors a child with us.
Our Commitment to Child Protection
In support of Christ's mandate to care for and protect His little ones, we are committed to safeguarding children in our programs from all forms of abuse and exploitation.
