As one of the world’s leading child development organizations, Compassion partners with the local church in 25 countries to end poverty in the lives of children and their families.
Today, nearly two million children are discovering lives full of promise and purpose as they develop in all the different aspects of their lives—their minds, bodies and relationships while discovering God’s love for them in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
What is ‘child development?’
“If I could relive my life, I would devote my entire ministry to reaching children for God!” Dwight L. Moody, evangelist
