About Compassion International

Jesus Cares About Children. So Do We.

Compassion International is a Christian charity whose mission is to release children from poverty in Jesus’ name one child at a time. Through child sponsorship and donations, we empower local churches to provide holistic care to children in poverty, so they are free to learn, grow, play and dream.

Our Child Sponsorship Program

Our child sponsorship program is designed to empower children to create brighter futures for themselves, their families, their communities and the world. Child sponsorship helps children flourish by providing recreational activities to support self-confidence and social skills, protection from crime and violence, and access to special services like life changing surgeries and disaster relief. Through a holistic approach to child development, we carefully blend physical, social, economic and spiritual care together to help God's children out of extreme poverty.
