Sponsoring children in need is breaking the cycle of poverty
Compassion International exists as a Christian child advocacy
ministry that releases children from spiritual, economic, social and
physical poverty and enables them to become responsible, fulfilled
Christian adults.
Founded by the Rev. Everett Swanson in 1952,
Compassion began providing Korean War orphans with food, shelter,
education and health care, as well as Christian training.
Today, Compassion helps more than 1 million children in 24 countries.
