By choosing to add £5 to your monthly sponsorship, your donation to Sponsorship Plus will help support emergency medical interventions and mothers and babies around the world.
Sick children will receive the urgent medical attention they need. Mothers and their babies living in extreme poverty will get the opportunity to not only survive but thrive. All thanks to that extra contribution.
Read on to find out how your donation through Sponsorship Plus can help make a world of difference in the lives of children.
Our Child Survival interventions ensure a mother and her baby receive access to the essential medical care they need before, during and after birth.
In Togo, for example, five in every 100 babies do not survive their first year of life, and one in every 58 mothers will die due to complications in pregnancy and birth.
Akouvi, a Togolese mother, was able to not only deliver twins safely, but also watch them thrive thanks to Compassion’s Child Survival intervention.
Read on to discover her experience of loss, survival and hope!
Akouvi’s storySometimes even a simple medical procedure can be beyond the reach of children and families living in extreme poverty.
When 11-year-old Yohannes fell ill with appendicitis, he was rushed to hospital, but his mother, Tenagna, was unable to pay the medical bill. She called all her friends, but no one had the means to cover the cost of the surgery.
In desperation, Tenagna turned to the Compassion project that Yohannes attended for help. They responded immediately, and Yohannes was able to get the medical treatment he needed.
“Compassion has bought my son life,” says Tenagne. “I am in a situation where I cannot buy a single exercise book for my child, but God used the church to save my child’s life.”
Sponsorship Plus donations go towards helping children get the emergency medical attention they need when they need it. That extra £5 a month can help children in often life-threatening circumstances.
