Compassion International exists as a Christian child advocacy ministry that releases children from spiritual, economic, social and physical poverty and enables them to become responsible, fulfilled Christian adults.

Founded by the Rev. Everett Swanson in 1952, Compassion began providing Korean War orphans with food, shelter, education and health care, as well as Christian training.

Today, Compassion helps more than 1 million children in 24 countries.

Get involved

Through Compassion you can sponsor a needy child for around $35 per/month and supply them with the things they need to grow up healthy and educated. When a child is sponsored through Compassion they receive food, medicine, and are given the chance to go to school.
Your contribution both financially and through letters to your child can have an immediate and dramatic affect in the life of that child and their family.
