Compassion International is a Child Development Organization

The difference between being a child sponsorship organization and a child development organization is subtle … but significant.

Child sponsorship relieves. Child development releases.

Child sponsorship takes interest. Child development takes involvement.

Child sponsorship is a gift. Child development is an investment.

Child sponsorship helps today. Child development helps tomorrow.

Child sponsorship is happiness. Child development is joy.

Child sponsorship is quick. Child development is steady.

Child sponsorship is a bandaid. Child development is a medicine.

Child sponsorship is a meal. Child development is a farm.

Child sponsorship is a color. Child development is a rainbow.

Child sponsorship is a book. Child development is a library.

Child sponsorship is a drop of water. Child development is an ocean.

Child sponsorship is a mountain. Child development is the entire range.

Child sponsorship is a cog. Child development is a machine.

Child sponsorship is a picture. Child development is a movie.

Child sponsorship is a spoke. Child development is a wheel.

Child sponsorship is a word. Child development is a story.

Child sponsorship is a shingle. Child development is a roof.

Child sponsorship is a note. Child development is a song.

Child sponsorship is a spark. Child development is a fire.

Child sponsorship is a room. Child development is a house.

Child sponsorship is a hand. Child development is a body.

Child sponsorship is a piece. Child development is the whole.

Without child sponsorship, we couldn’t do child development. When you sponsor a child through Compassion International, you play a significant role in their development.

As we partner with local churches around the world to host over 1.5 million kids in our program, we are committed to the success of each child from before the time they are born to far beyond the time when they leave.

But to say we are a child sponsorship organization is an oversimplification.

Compassion International is much more than a child sponsorship organization.

Compassion International is a child development organization.
