I feel like I’m taking a test! But seriously, complementary intervention is exactly what the two words mean. Complementary – def. forming a complete or balanced whole. Intervention – def. the act of intervening, esp. to influence or alter a situation in some way. Putting these two things together you are helping to make a balanced whole of all the sponsorship funds and other needs that people need and intervening to influence a situation for good.

The HVC is definitely a complementary intervention because it identifies and intervenes in the lives of children that are extremely high risk and offers above and beyond what a normal sponsor child needs.

A complementary intervention is meeting a need that is not covered under the regular sponsorship funds. When a need arises such as an individuals losing their home due to flooding or someone needing surgury that is when additional services are needed to help the family recover.
The HVC is a complementary intervention and helps by identifying the most vulnerable children who are at risk. When identified for receiving services they are given the assistance needed to bring their daily lives stability and love.

A complementary intervention is meeting a need that is not covered under sponsorship funds. It helps cover unexpected needs such as homes destroyed by floods, children needing medical treatment, heart surgery, etc.
Complementary interventions exist to strengthen other programs.

The HVC is considered a complementary intervention that exists for identifying the most vulunerable children who are at risk and need additional assistance in their daily lives. The assistance can help provide stability, love and a sense of hope for their future.

Complementary Interventions complete the core mission of Compassion…releasing children from poverty in Jesus’ name. These funds ensure that children registered in Compassion really do have everything necessary provided. So if there are cases where the $32 monthly sponsorship cannot cover all the basic needs of a registered child, funds from Complementary Interventions are used.

The Highly Vulnerable Children’s Fund is a complementary Intervention because although all children registered in Compassion are at risk, some are in more dire need. Some are orphans, some are at higher risk of chronic illness and disease, some are in abusive home environments, some are more prone to exploitation and some cases of poverty are more extreme. To provide for these children, there is a need for more than the basic sponsorship amount… and that’s where the Complementary Intervention funds come in.
