Compassion is a Christian international holistic child development organisation. Through our Child Sponsorship Program, more than 2 million children are currently being released from poverty in Jesus' name. With over seven decades of experience, Compassion's unique approach to solving poverty works: research proves it.
Right now, inequality is trapping billions of people in poverty. It's causing a record number of people to lose their livelihoods, struggle for essentials and face extreme hunger — all while a handful of people hold inconceivable wealth.
Our response to poverty is different. Our focus is one child at a time. We build long-term relationships between children and their local church family.
We are a member of the global Oxfam confederation, which works in 77 countries around the world
