Compassion is a leading Christian charity and is considered one of the best child sponsorship organisations. We have experience! Founded in 1952, Compassion is a Christian child development charity releasing children from poverty, in Jesus’ name. We work across the globe exclusively through local church-driven projects. Working in 29 countries, we partner with more than 9,000 local churches within communities experiencing poverty. Our heart is to give children and young people living in extreme need the opportunity to thrive and reach their God-given potential both now and into the future. We’re Christ-centred. We're motivated by Jesus’ call to love our neighbour. We're child-focused. We're helping those left most vulnerable to the effects of poverty. Our programmes care for every part of a child's life. Compassion’s child development programmes are holistic, giving children support in every core area of their lives. Because we work in partnership with local churches who know their communities inside out, our programmes are tailored to a child’s age, gender, health, culture and family situation. Independent research shows they are highly effective; now, more than 2.4 million children are being released from poverty. Click here to find out what graduates say.
