It's an unforgettable experience. Compassion encourages sponsors to give additional monetary gifts to their sponsored children for special occasions, to address specific needs, or simply as an act of love. These gifts are another effective way for you to reinforce your care and commitment for your child, in addition to meeting real-life needs. One hundred percent of all individual child gift amounts are used on behalf of that child. Local project workers will purchase these gifts on behalf of our sponsors and make certain that these funds are used appropriately.
Compassion works exclusively through local churches and Christian fellowships to assist children.
Because projects tend to be quite small, averaging about 150 children, the local staff become personally acquainted with each sponsored child and his or her unique needs. Sponsorship support for all of the children in a project is combined and managed to provide a wide range of developmental activities and opportunities. Compassion regularly conducts audits to make sure that funds are properly received, tracked, and managed. But it's not enough to ensure that funds are reaching your child's local project and being spent on planned activities. Like you, we want to be sure that real development is taking place in the life of every sponsored child.
