Compassion International is a child development organization that partners with 25 countries around the world to release children and their families from poverty in Jesus' name. Through this partnership, we provide culturally appropriate child development programs to combat economic, physical, social and spiritual poverty. Our ultimate goal is to enable children to become responsible, fulfilled adults while forming, motivating and equipping others to advocate for them. 

Releasing children from poverty in Jesus' name.

Compassion is known for its sponsorship program, though there are many other ways to get involved. Through sponsorship, an individual has the opportunity to pour into the life of a specific child through letter-writing, gift-giving and monthly donations toward opportunities provided at the child development center, ranging from education to health care. 

Sponsorship is not the only way to come alongside those in poverty; at Compassion, supporters can also contribute to specific causes through donating to various funds related to water, disaster relief, income generation and more. 

Today, Compassion works in 25 countries.

• In Africa, we work in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Togo and Uganda.
• In Central America, we work in the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua and Mexico.
• In South America, we work in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.
• In Asia, we work in Bangladesh, Indonesia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Thailand.

Compassion has four very distinct values:

1. Christ-Centered. Without coercion, we teach the life-changing gospel to every child in a culturally relevant way.
2. Child-Focused. Our ministry directly engages each child as a complete person.
3. Church-Based. We choose to partner with the local church as a group of believers who can teach, train and mentor children. This is done in partnership with parents and the community.
4. Committed to Integrity. We commit to excellence and integrity to best benefit the children we serve. We commit to help children, families and churches create relevant child development activities. We commit to the highest professional and biblical principles.
