children are living in poverty
Poverty is complex and has a devastating impact on every area of life. That's why Compassion’s approach comprehensively addresses all areas of a child’s development: physical, socio-emotional, cognitive and spiritual.

Our local church partners ensure every child can hear the Gospel and receive a good education, nutrition, clean water and healthcare. Children have the opportunity to attend local child development centres on a regular basis so they can learn, play and grow together.
Our proven approach sees children break the cycle of poverty and reach their full potential.
