• What is Gifts of Compassion?

  Gifts of Compassion are real goods and services given to children and families in Compassion child development centres around the world. For every Gift of Compassion you order, you will receive a gift card to personalise for your friends and loved ones.

  Funds raised from the Gifts of Compassion catalogue are used to support Compassion's Critical Needs, which remove obstacles to children's development and implement preventative action. These interventions include providing safe water, disaster relief, emergency medical care, vocational training, infrastructure and much more—all issues that need to be addressed for a child to be released from poverty.

  Compassion Australia uses Gifts of Compassion funds to meet the project needs represented in the catalogue.

• Do the Gifts of Compassion gifts really cost what I am paying for them?

  The gifts featured in Gifts of Compassion represent initiatives Compassion carries out to address the needs of children beyond sponsorship. As each country and community in the developing world has its own unique challenges to address, what these initiatives look like and how much they cost can vary. This means your donation will be pooled with others to fund an initiative.
