Compassion International
We are child advocates, dedicated to releasing children from poverty in Jesus’ name. Through sponsorships and donations, we empower local churches to love, care for and protect children in poverty so they’re free to learn, grow, play and dream.
Mission:
Releasing children from poverty in Jesus’ name
Releasing children from poverty in Jesus’ name is a mission about love. We love God, and we demonstrate our love and live out our faith by extending care to others and living out the meaning of compassion.
Compassion means “to suffer with,” and it combines sympathy with an active response. Because we are compassionate we act to lessen the suffering of children in poverty. We offer our programs to the poorest of the poor, to the children in greatest need, without ulterior motive. We devote ourselves to helping children of all faiths, cultures, backgrounds and race — without imposing any religious obligation or conversion requirement upon them.
We simply aspire to be like our Savior, Jesus Christ, in who we are and what we do.
