About Compassion

Who We Are

As the world’s leading Christian child development ministry, Compassion Canada is committed to eliminating the root causes of poverty for children around the globe. Our passion and purpose reside in our unwavering commitment to our Lord Jesus Christ and the ability of His Church to execute his command to serve the poor. More

What We Do

Compassion’s child development approach is holistic, serving the spiritual, economic, social, and physical needs of a child. We accomplish this through our Child Development through Sponsorship Program. Our approach is augmented by our secondary initiatives – the Child Survival, Leadership Development, and Complementary Interventions programs. More

How We Work

Compassion works in partnership with local churches in developing countries; providing resources, training and expertise to assist in the operation of holistic child development programs. Local churches are empowered to develop Compassion’s programs towards meeting the specific and individual needs of the children within their local communities. more
