Compassion Child Sponsorship is Unique
Sponsoring a child with Compassion is the most cost-effective way to end extreme child poverty. It not only addresses a child’s immediate physical needs, it also builds self-esteem and self-respect. Although there are similarities across other child sponsorship programs, Compassion’s approach is unique because we are:
Christ-Centered | In response to God’s call to care for the poor, Compassion gives hope to the hopeless, meeting practical needs and sharing the good news about Jesus in a culturally relevant, unconditional way to all we serve.
Child-Focused | Our child sponsorship ministry connects one child with one sponsor to help the child achieve his or her God-given potential. Sponsors write and receive letters, pray for and encourage their sponsored children and may even visit their children.
Church-Based | Every sponsored child is linked with a Christ-centered church in his or her community. Compassion partners with over 8,000 evangelical church partners in 25 countries around the world.
Aventura at Richmond delivers hope to 80 children in 13 countries: Burkina Faso, Bolivia, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ethiopia, Ghana, Haiti, Indonesia, Mexico, Peru, Rwanda, Togo and Thailand.
