Compassion International
Through their holistic child development model, Compassion blends physical, social, economic and spiritual care together to help children in poverty fully mature in every facet of life and transcend what is often a generational legacy of poverty.
About Compassion Internationaal
Compassion International began in 1952 when Rev. Everett Swanson first developed special sponsorship programs for individuals, families or churches to help support Korean War orphans. Compassion now works with thousands of local churches around the world, and each church partner tailors their holistic child development model to the contextualized needs of the children in its community, to best deliver the whole-life care the children need.
Compassion works primarily through child sponsorship, but also has specific initiatives to help babies and mothers, to develop future leaders, and to meet critical needs.
Key benefits for each child receiving sponsorship through Compassion include:
Better health and nutrition
Education and vocational support
Safety and protection
Socio-emotional development
