Compassion International has been working around the globe since 1952. We understand that God’s calling to go to the “ends of the earth” is not a figure of speech.
We want to connect our supporters here in Canada with the children we serve around the world. A lot of the time that connection happens through photos, letters and prayers. But sometimes, it happens in person, and we love when that happens!

The Compassion difference
On a Compassion Exposure Trip, you have the opportunity to learn from and experience a different culture. We believe that your openness to the experience will change your life.

If a trip to a country so different from your own is outside your comfort zone, be assured we will be alongside you every step of the way.
We will guide you through key trip preparation, such as obtaining passports, visas (if necessary) and immunizations. We’ll provide travel tips, a packing list and fun ideas for children’s gifts.

Testimonials

I was encouraged by the intimacy that I felt with Jesus while on the trip. Taking the time to be in His presence, in prayer, and in tune with the Holy Spirit all week was incredible. I strive now to keep that intimacy in my everyday life as a Mom of three young kids. Although it may be a few years before I have another opportunity to travel with Compassion again, I already look forward to the next experience.
What to expect
Perhaps you’re thinking about travelling with Compassion for the first time, but you’re not sure what to expect. “Where will I sleep?” you wonder. “What will I eat? How will we get around?”
International travel is full of adventures, and there’s no such thing as a silly question! We have great information to help you discover what our trips are like.

Child protection policy
Concern for the well-being of children is the cornerstone of our ministry. It is important to read our full Trips and Visits Child Protection Policy if you are considering travelling with us, as it guides interactions between sponsors and children. This policy is intended to protect the children in our program from abuse, as well as our visitors from any wrongful allegations.
Please note that we require a background check for everyone of legal age in your province (18 or 19) and older who interacts with any beneficiary of our program.
