Safe in His Hands

Every mum should have a healthy pregnancy. Every baby deserves the chance to thrive.

For young families living in poverty, the first year of a child's life is the most critical. Many mums face pregnancy and birth without access to medical care, nutrition support or a safe birth attendant. Your support as a Compassion Nurturer helps change that—reaching mums and babies across more than 25 countries with the care they need to survive and thrive.

25+

Your support reaches mums and babies across more than 25 countries where Compassion partners with local churches to provide critical care during pregnancy and a baby's first year.

92%

92 per cent of all maternal deaths occur in low- and lower-middle-income countries, the very communities where Compassion's local church partners are at work.

50%

Nearly half of all deaths of children under five happen within their first month of life, making the newborn period the most critical time for survival.

2.5 M

Every year, 2.5 million children die within their first month of life, mostly from preventable causes. Your support helps change this.

Compassion works with mums and babies to prevent premature death, secure good health and enable positive development for babies and their caregivers. Your support enables a mum to become:

Physically healthy

Encouraged in self-confidence and able to build healthy relationships

Equipped with life skills

Connected to a local church where they can hear the gospel message

Marie's story

Comfort mums like Marie

Marie was starting to worry. It had been weeks since she last heard from her husband Christophe. He’d left their home in Togo to work on a faraway farm to earn the extra income his family desperately needed. But the money never came.


Just weeks later, Marie received news that her husband was dead. Heartbroken and four months pregnant, Marie could see only severe suffering in her family’s future. She worried her baby wouldn’t even live long enough to be named. But then a friend told her about the Compassion program at a local church that helps mums and babies to thrive.

You can help mums like Marie, who need Christ’s love and a compassionate, helping hand to protect them and their babies.
