Compassion International is a Christian Child Advocacy Ministry. Its main mission is to help release children from spiritual, economic, social and physical poverty to become responsible and fulfilled Christian adult.
Compassion has a few programs that will help children to become strong well rounded and responsible Christian adults (there is even a program for pregnant mothers).
The best medicine, it's been said, is prevention. That's why Compassion sometimes starts care before a child is born: our prenatal program helps mothers give their babies a better chance to be healthy. And once a child comes into the world, we're there with our Child Survival Program to get critical child development off to a running start.
The Child Sponsorship Program teaches children vocational skills to help them find sustainable income and a way out of poverty. Child sponsorship is a proven success: Just ask any of the more than 2 million children who've had a sponsor — and a better life as a result!
| Leadership Development Program Sometimes Compassion-assisted children develop so well that they become leaders in their own right. The Compassion Leadership Development Program is a unique program that targets these outstanding high school graduates who want to pursue a post-secondary education but lack the money to do it. These are not the only programs that Compassion has developed over the years. If you want to know how your money is spent while you sponsor a child with Compassion. The breakdown is rather simple. The programs receive approximately 82% of your sponsorship money. Then approximately 17% is used for administration purposes. This has been the breakdown for many years. I don’t know of any other child advocacy group that can boast of more than half the money being used for the children programs. So what is the price of sponsoring a child in a distant land? It will only cost $38 dollars per month. As a sponsor you can write letters to your child, share pictures and offer encouragement your child in the name of Jesus. To find out more about sponsorship please check the FAQ. To sponsor a child please go to http://www.compassion.com/sponsor_a_child/default.htm?referer=115754. I can tell you that sponsoring children is well worth the small amount. But that is only the beginning. You can give the families gifts, a birthday gift and a gift to your child through special donations on your sponsorship page. And for support you can even join many other sponsors at Our Compassion. | ||
