Preparing and enjoying good, healthy, tasty food is a wonderful thing. No wonder so many people are passionate about it! But for the 1.4 billion people in our world living on less than $1.25 a day, simply feeding themselves is a daily challenge.

But also know that you can ensure one child never goes hungry again. Sponsor a child through Compassion today.

By sponsoring one specific child, you provide that child not only with the opportunity to eat well but also with education, healthcare and love and support.

If you are unsure if you are ready to sponsor a child, consider giving a one-off gift to Compassion's Complementary Interventions. This helps cover needs that are out of sponsorship's reach, like access to clean water and proper sanitation facilities, or additional medical care and nutritional assistance.

Regardless of how you decide to fight against child poverty, we ask that you please act today. Because by this time tomorrow, 24,000 children around the world will have died from poverty-related issues. What are you going to do to make a difference?
