About the Company

Compassion International

Christian child development through church-based programs

Compassion International supports the holistic development of children in poverty through a church-based model. It partners with more than 8,000 local churches in 25 countries to deliver a program that focuses on each child’s spiritual, economic, social, and physical needs, guided by Christ-centered teaching. The system works by churches hosting and delivering the program in their communities, providing ongoing care and resources irrespective of background, while maintaining transparency in how funds are used. This approach differentiates Compassion from others by relying on a wide network of local churches to implement the program and by combining gospel-based teaching with practical support for the whole life of the child. The organization’s primary goal is to release children from poverty in Jesus’ name and to create lasting positive change in their communities.
