Compassion's programs, however, are unapologetically Christian and every Compassion project is connected to a Christian church or ministry. We want every child to have the opportunity to see living faith in action, hear the gospel, and have an opportunity to be discipled in the ways of Christ, but neither they nor their families are under any compulsion to become Christians. Compassion seeks out local partners who share our passion and vision for ministry. When they are as committed to the children as we are, they make sure that the funds are used effectively. In addition, we train and equip project workers so that they understand effective child development and good financial management.
Compassion is totally committed to earning the trust of our donors and sponsors.
Integrity is not only a commitment, it is a value that drives our whole organization. Besides an annual audit of Compassion by an independent auditing firm, we regularly conduct our own audits to make sure that funds are properly received, tracked, and managed in every project for every child.
