What does Compassion do for children living in Australia?

As a holistic child development program focused on helping children living in extreme poverty, Compassion’s ministry is primarily aimed at supporting vulnerable children living in some of the world’s poorest communities. Our work is focused in over 25 field countries across Africa, Asia and Central and South America.

Despite living in one of the world's most developed nations, many of Australia's children experience a variety of inequalities throughout childhood, struggling to access education, healthcare, housing and more. There are many wonderful Christian organisations who primarily support children here in Australia and we encourage you to find out more about their work if this interests you.
