SPONSOR A CHILD

The Compassion International child sponsorship program connects children in desperate poverty with caring, one-to-one sponsors around the world. Donating just $43 each month, these sponsors help provide medical checkups, nutritious food, health and hygiene training, educational assistance, mentoring, and special services like surgeries and disaster relief. Additionally, each child is introduced to Jesus Christ and encouraged to develop a lifelong relationship with God.

Sponsors receive a photo of their child, along with the child’s story and regular updates. Compassion International encourages sponsors to write letters to and even visit their child.

During his visits to the communities where Compassion serves people, Solder saw first-hand the adversity faced by those children and the difference Compassion is making in their lives. He compared their struggles to playing football, where he faces his opponents on the field.

“They have enemies and obstacles at every turn, but it’s not just a game for them,” Solder said. “Their enemies are hunger, illiteracy, and exploitation, and simple preventable illnesses that come to take their life and hope. They need people like us to team up with Compassion to protect these children and give them an opportunity.” Compassion is Christ-centered and church-based. There are over 2 million children in its programs in 25 countries, but many more children are in need.
