Compassion assisted children and their families rarely receive cash. Benefits are almost always in the form of goods and services, carefully designed, delivered and purchased according to the children's individual needs.

Sponsorship money is pooled to provide the goods and services that each child in our child development centres receives. This support system means that no child is disadvantaged if a sponsor can't make a monthly financial contribution.

However, child and family gifts are allocated exclusively to your sponsored child and their family. Program staff will involve the family in purchasing gifts that are appropriate and meet their specific needs.
