Can I sponsor a child with a specific disability or chronic illness?

Our team can help you search for a child with a disability or chronic illness to sponsor. However, we cannot match a sponsor to a child based on a particular disability or illness. That’s because details about specific medical conditions are considered private health information.

Compassion is committed to the protection and privacy of all children involved in the Child Sponsorship Program. For this reason, we do not disclose personal health information about registered children.

If you would like our help to search for a child to sponsor, please call our friendly team on 1300 22 44 53 or email us at compassion@compassion.com.au.
