We partner with local churches to fulfil our mission of releasing children from poverty in Jesus' name. Our partnership is based on mutual respect, common goals and a belief in the Church as God's chosen instrument for His work in seeking justice for children living in poverty. Every child development centre is an outreach of one of these churches, and church staff and volunteers provide the children with non-coercive, age- and culture-appropriate Christian teaching and church-run activities.

The role of our church partners involves:

• Maintaining complete, accurate and current information on each registered child in their care

• Providing information on the program and operations of the partnership to Compassion

• Providing regular reports to the Compassion national office in their country

• Assessing all registered children's progress against child development outcomes

• Working towards a planned and successful completion of every registered child's participation in the program

• Ensuring all registered children have at least one adult staff member or volunteer who personally knows them, interacts with them and helps them to grow and develop through the ministry of the child development centre
