Yonatan
Colombia
Yonatan, a 25-year-old Compassion alumnus, teaches tailoring at his former Compassion centre. With activities at the centre cancelled and a huge shortage of supplies facing his community, Yonatan is using his tailoring skills to sew face masks for his community to help protect it from COVID-19.

Guinko

COVID-19 turned life upside down for Guiniko, a hard-working single mother of three in Burkina Faso. So Compassion stepped in to help, providing much-needed food after Guiniko spent her last paycheque when the hotel where she works was closed because of the lock down.

Your gifts will be directed to meet urgent needs identified by the community itself.
Adaptive
Effective, local response strategies that adapt as the crisis evolves
Contextual
Contextualized support so communities receive the help they actually need
Sustainable
Relief-focused during the crisis, with a commitment to long-term sustainability
Family focused
Focused on household and food security, child protection and health needs
No less than 80 per cent of your donation will be used for program activities and a maximum of 20 per cent for fundraising and administration. If we exceed our funding goal for the initiative shown, the remaining funds will be used to fund other programs where the need is greatest.
*Your gifts will be delivered through local churches around the world by staff members in the field who know the immediate needs of each child registered with Compassion, as well as their families and communities.
*All suggested amounts are based on early indications of the needs we’re seeing in our field countries. The amounts are illustrative and intended to provide an idea of how funds are being used; they do not guarantee that an individual gift will go to that specific use. All gifts will be used to meet the most critical needs of millions of children in poverty, as well as their families and communities around the world.
