Breaking the cycle of poverty  

Compassion International exists as an advocate for children, releasing them from spiritual, economic, social and physical poverty and enabling them to become responsible, fulfilled Christian adults.

Founded by Rev. Everett Swanson in 1952, Compassion began providing Korean war orphans with food, shelter, education and healthcare, as well as Christian training.

Today, Compassion helps more than 875,000 children in more than 20 countries.

How We Work

Changing the world one child at a time

Compassion focuses on spiritual, physical, economic and social needs of children. We're more than just a relief program - we're:

Christ Centered. Each child has an opportunity to hear the gospel in an age-appropriate and culturally relevant way.

Child Focused. Engaging each child as a complete person, we treat children like we'd want our own children treated.

Church Based. We partner with churches, parents and communities - to teach, train and mentor children.

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