Compassion International | What We Do

Compassion International is the world’s leading authority in holistic child development through sponsorship.

Holistic child development means we begin, in some cases, with prenatal care and go all the way through leadership development for qualified young adults. We take a long-term approach to how we serve children, their families and communities.

In partnership with frontline churches in 29 developing nations and with support from donors like you, Compassion provides opportunities to children that encourage healthy growth in four areas — spiritual, physical, social and economic. With a Christ-centered, child-focused, church-based model for ministry, Compassion is releasing children from poverty in Jesus’ name.
