Compassion’s Financial Accountability

About Compassion Recognizing that poverty is more than a lack of money, Compassion works holistically through the local church, using a unique combination of spiritual, economic, social and physical development programs.

Christ Centered Jesus is at the heart of Compassion's ministry and each child has the opportunity to hear the gospel in an age- appropriate and culturally relevant way.

Child Focused Compassion focuses on the individual child and his or her development. A transformed child will inevitably change his or her environment.

Church Based The Church is God's chosen instrument to bring hope and deliver justice to the poor and oppressed. Compassion partners with local Christian churches to equip them for ministry to children.

Committed to Integrity We're dedicated to delivering excellent programs with complete integrity.
