Compassion International

About

Compassion International is the world's largest child development organization, committed to releasing children from spiritual, economic, social, and physical poverty in Jesus' name. Established in 1952, Compassion International focuses on holistic child development through child sponsorship and works predominantly in partnership with local churches. This unique approach not only connects children living in poverty with compassionate sponsors but also ensures that the needs of the community and family are attended to holistically. With a strong emphasis on education, health, and emotional well-being, Compassion International designs its programs to promote the best outcomes for children. Children enrolled in Compassion's programs receive essential services such as nutritious meals, medical care, and educational support, enabling them to break free from the cycle of poverty. The organization fosters long-term relationships between sponsors and children, enriching the lives of both parties while promoting a global understanding of poverty and compassion alongside faith-based values.
