Releasing children from poverty in Jesus' name.

We are Christ-centered: Jesus is the core of our ministry and his life and teachings shape our programs.

We are church-based: Compassion believes the Church is God’s chosen instrument to bring hope to a hurting world. Compassion partners with nearly 8,000 churches in 25 countries around the world to deliver our holistic child development program.

We are child-focused: Compassion’s ministry is focused on the individual child and his/her development. At Compassion, we believe entire communities will feel the positive impact of our presence because what happens in the life of a child ripples throughout his or her environment.
