Sponsor a Child With Special Needs

Families of special needs children often lack the resources to help their children thrive. When those families live in poverty, those needs are compounded.

Helping special needs children can become overwhelming, so Compassion International gives special priority to helping these children—one child at a time. Compassion seeks to “release children from poverty in Jesus’ name” and since the program is an effective prevention against poverty, it is also a great resource for special needs children. The children are carefully selected and then connected with a local Compassion Child Development Center based in a local church. Compassion works to holistically address the individual physical, economic, educational and spiritual needs of children—enabling them to thrive, not just survive no matter what their special needs are.

At the center, special needs children are encouraged to dream of the future, have goals, receive an education and understand their individual challenges. Each child has a sponsor in another country whose support provides food and clean water, medical care, educational opportunities, training in life skills and the opportunity to develop a lifelong relationship with God. These resources help support the family and the individual challenges of each child with special needs.

Will you sponsor a child with special needs? Your sponsorship provides vital resources for these families.
