WHO IS COMPASSION?Compassion is a Christian child development organization founded in 1952. We assist more than 1 million children in 26 developing countries. Our goal is to develop children in poverty so they will become responsible, fulfilled Christians

Our approach is unique because we are:

CHRIST CENTERED. We ensure that every child hears the gospel and has the opportunity to trust Jesus. We hope to lead children into a lifestyle of faith and commitment to God.

CHILD FOCUSED. Compassion engages children as complete individuals, addressing their spiritual, economic, social and physical needs.

CHURCH BASED. All of our programs are carried out by the local church in the communities where the children we serve live. We minister to children, regardless of religious affiliation.

COMMITTED TO INTEGRITY. Compassion consistently receives high ratings from independent auditing firms and watchdog organizations. Every year, more than 80 percent of total expenditures are spent directly on children’s programs.

You are invited to learn more about Compassion at compassion.com or by calling us at (800) 336-7676, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. MT.

Defeating a pandemic

Compassion found me in the midst of

frustrations of poverty and death. I was poor

and had no hope for tomorrow. Compassion

enhanced my life and [the lives] of my

children. My life has changed after receiving

the nutritious food at the project. We have

a future. My son is getting all the necessary

medical attention. He is in school. Compassion

has strengthened us with hope. God bless

Compassion and sponsors.”

— Judith, mother of Iradukunda, an HIV-positive 8-year-old receiving antiretroviral therapy through Compassion’s AIDS Initiative
