Expanding Holistic Child Development to Release the Next Million Children from Poverty
There are an estimated 170 million children living on less than $3.65 per day in the 29 countries where Compassion currently works. In response, our vision is to expand the reach of existing and new Frontline Church Partners to include another million children on the journey toward being released from poverty through church-driven holistic child development programs, targeted response interventions and operational support for local partners to have the greatest impact possible.
Your partnership will be a catalyst for this growth in every country where Compassion works and will ensure that each Frontline Church Partner can offer sustainable, holistic support to every child in our care.
By giving to Expand Hope, your support will empower Compassion and our local church partners to use your gift to make a difference for the children or communities who need it most.
With your help, we can provide children with the right solutions at the right time to support their holistic development and give them the best opportunity possible to end the cycle of poverty.
Reaching the Next Million Together
Your support will help empower local churches to be beacons of hope to children and families in desperate need, including countries of extraordinary opportunity such as Brazil, Malawi, Zambia and Myanmar.
