Will I receive any updates about my sponsored child from their child development centre?

Yes! Every one to two years, you will receive an update from your sponsored child’s centre or from a Compassion staff member in their country.

Releasing your sponsored child from poverty requires the united support of many different people in our global neighbourhood: family, friends, peers, local and international staff, church pastors and volunteers, mentors and you, their sponsor.

These updates from the field provide you with different perspectives on the work of the local church as they serve vulnerable children. You can gain insight into your sponsored child's community, their child development centre, society and culture, and discover region-specific prayer points and letter writing prompts.

Learn where you can find the latest update from your sponsored child’s centre.
