Equipping Eglise Baptiste Conservatrice to Release Children From Poverty

Child-Focused, Church-Based and Christ-Centered

Our goal is to release children from poverty in Jesus’ name. To accomplish this, Compassion works through thousands of church partners in 25 countries around the world. Each of these churches welcomes hundreds of children and provides them with a holistic child development program. The holistic development program focuses on these key areas:

Every year, Compassion partners with hundreds of new churches to reach thousands more children in need. We help develop children into all God intends them to be.

Ministry partners, like Aventura at Maryland Oaks, support the launch of new church partnerships. This gift equips each church with staff training, office equipment and classroom supplies to minister well to hundreds of children. Children enrolled with a church partner participate in weekly programming and benefit immediately from nutritious meals, fellowship with other children and a medical screening. In time, children connect with their own individual sponsor.

Due to the risk of infection, Compassion child development centers in Haiti temporarily suspended large-group activities in March.

Partner church workers have been able to deliver 162,427 food packs and 92,192 hygiene kits and have provided medical assistance to 12,756 people.*
