Disaster Doesn’t Have to Mean Desperation

Become a Compassion Responder to empower our local church partners to protect children facing crises in Haiti, Uganda, Ethiopia and beyond from hunger, thirst and homelessness.

A month’s supply of family emergency relief costs an average of $50.

She needs food, water, shelter and God’s love now more than ever.

Nine-year-old Esther and her family lost everything they had when heavy rainfall triggered floods and landslides in Rwanda. Tragically, more than 130 people died and 20,000 people — some of whom Esther knows — also were left homeless.

You can empower the local church with the necessary resources to respond immediately, helping families like Esther’s with food, water, temporary shelter, counseling and help with picking up the pieces after they’ve suffered a disaster.
