Sponsor a Child in the Philippines

Children in the Philippines Need Your Support

The Philippines is battered by many typhoons each year, which in turn cause landslides, flooding and volcanic eruptions. These disasters hurt the most impoverished Filipinos more than anyone else.

According to the most recent data from the World Bank, 19.9 million people live in poverty in the Philippines.

While many people face poverty in the Philippines, you can help break the cycle by sponsoring a child. Sponsorship starts a ripple effect of hope and help that empowers families to escape poverty. Learn more about how child sponsorship helps.

Why Sponsor a Child in the Philippines?

By sponsoring a child with Compassion International, you become a life-changer, empowering them to break free from the cycle of poverty, pursue education, receive medical care and develop their God-given potential.

Through our child sponsorship program, you offer powerful encouragement, love and support as a child journeys out of poverty.

With a monthly sponsorship of just $43, you can provide a child with the following crucial support:

1. An introduction to the love of God: Our local church partners faithfully model Christ’s love and share the gospel, giving children the opportunity to know Christ as their Savior, hope and anchor in the midst of their difficult circumstances.
   
2. Malnutrition monitoring and intervention: Children living in poverty often lack access to nutritious food, leading to malnutrition and severe health issues. Regular monitoring and intervention programs identify and address malnutrition early on, ensuring that children receive the nutrients they need for healthy growth and development.
   
3. Medical care and regular checkups: Children in poverty in the Philippines face various health challenges because of their inadequate living conditions, limited access to medical care and exposure to unsanitary environments. Providing medical care and regular checkups is crucial for addressing immediate health issues, preventing the spread of diseases and promoting overall well-being among these children.
   
4. Individual mentorship and love: Children living in poverty often face social and emotional challenges because of their difficult circumstances and limited support systems. Local church staff members know and love each child. This supportive community provides them with positive role models, emotional support and guidance, which can help build their self-esteem, resilience and social skills.
   
5. Education assistance and skills training: Access to quality education is key to breaking the cycle of poverty. Providing educational assistance, such as school supplies, tuition support and scholarships, ensures that children can acquire knowledge and skills that empower them to improve their circumstances in the long term.
   
6. Encouraging words and support from you, their sponsor: Children in poverty often face discouragement and hopelessness. Encouraging words and support from sponsors can significantly boost their self-esteem and motivation. By providing positive affirmation, emotional support and a sense of belonging, sponsors can inspire and empower these children to strive for better futures.
