How much does it cost to sponsor a child with Compassion Australia?

Sponsoring a child with Compassion costs $55 per month per sponsored child. Your generous contribution each month helps supply resources to local churches partnering with us in developing communities, and provide a range of benefits to the children who are registered in the program, including:

  • The opportunity to hear the gospel in a culturally relevant way
  • Learning opportunities, school supplies and assistance with school fees as needed
  • Health care such as medical check-ups, dental care and vaccinations
  • Nutritious meals as required
  • Key life skills and vocational training programs
  • Individualised care and attention

For an additional $12 a month (or another amount of your choosing), you can support Critical Needs. There are nine Critical Needs you can choose to support, depending on which areas you are most passionate about, such as providing safe water and sanitation, building homes and classrooms, providing vocational training, supporting newborn babies and pregnant mums and more. Critical Needs address areas of life for children that are beyond the reach of sponsorship, providing customised solutions to help children and their communities overcome obstacles to their development.

You can give to Critical Needs even if you don’t sponsor a child.
