Gifts of Compassion

What if you could give a child living in poverty eggs to eat every week? A gift of chickens ensures a child will have a steady source of protein and plenty of eggs to sell in the market.

Goats can produce four kids a year and don’t need much land. A gift of goats means a family will have milk, which they can both drink and sell.

When a family receives a gift of pigs, there is very little upkeep or need for a large plot of land. Pigs reproduce quickly and can be sold for a profit.

With a gift of a cow, a family will have access to milk and a stable source of income—so they can improve their child’s nutrition and better provide for their needs.

Carpentry tools and training in a trade will give people living in poverty the dignity of providing for themselves and their families.

Give a sewing machine so young women can learn to earn an income from home. Having a way to provide for themselves is a powerful tool to overcome inequality and discrimination.

You can help provide drought-resistant fruit and vegetable seeds as well as agricultural training for families living at extreme risk of malnutrition.

Malaria is deadly. It’s also easily preventable. This gift provides insecticide-treated bed nets to a family in need, as well as training to help children and their families avoid infection.

Tooth decay can leave children sick, unable to eat and more likely to miss school. Your gift will help provide regular dental checkups and treatment, as well as toothbrushes and toothpaste.

In many developing countries, children must walk several kilometres to get to school. By providing a bicycle, you can ensure that a child has a safe, efficient way to attend school.

For many children, the dangerous and violent streets of their neighbourhoods are their playgrounds. Delight a child by helping provide a safe and secure playground at a Compassion centre.

Most children in poverty have little to no access to books. Your gift will ensure children have access to textbooks and other learning supplies at their Compassion centre.

Safe water, hand-washing stations and sanitary latrines keep children safe from potentially fatal diseases. Please help us ensure every Compassion child has water and sanitation to stay free from disease!

Waterborne diseases take the life of a child every 15 seconds. When you give a water filter, you give a family a lifetime supply of safe water, as well as training on how to avoid these life- threatening diseases.
