What is child sponsorship?

Child sponsorship with Compassion UK enables you to come alongside a child living in poverty.

We do this in partnership with the local church.

We have thousands of local church partners tailoring our holistic child development model to the contextualised needs of the children they serve — the children in their communities.

When you sponsor a child with us, the beneficiary of your support is the specific child you sponsor. The family may receive additional or indirect benefits, but we focus on one child.

The child you sponsor will attend a Compassion Project at their local church. There, they’ll receive;

• Curriculum based on their individual needs and development stage
• Access to a church-driven local project, and the love and support of staff and volunteers
• Nutritional support
• Health check-ups
• Educational opportunities
• Personal attention and guidance from loving staff members
• An age-appropriate Bible and Biblical teaching and the opportunity to hear about the love of Jesus
• Vocational training
• Encouragement from your letters
