Child Development

Change a life, sponsor a child

Find a child

We offer children in need a hope more powerful than poverty.

A child has no power over where they are born or their circumstances. In a dire situation of poverty, having a chance to enjoy childhood is rare. Well-being and health are replaced with hunger and lack of resources. Hope and opportunities are limited by hardship. There are millions of children around the world who are lacking basics such as food, water and shelter. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

We believe every child on our planet should be known, loved, protected and released from poverty in Jesus’ name.

When you sponsor a child, you give them the opportunity to enjoy their childhood, to thrive in reaching their full potential, and giving them a hope more powerful than poverty.

What we're doing

We partner with Compassion International's child development programme, which connects children to their local church family, giving them an education, access to a doctor and safe places to play. When you sponsor a child you not only provide them with this immediate support, but also build a relationship more powerful than poverty by writing them letters of hope and encouragement.

Benissan's Story

We partner with Compassion International and the local church to support kids born into a life of poverty, like Benissan from Togo.

"Before I had surgery, my eyes hurt. Everything was blurry. I couldn’t see the board at school. It was scary."

"But the first time I put on my glasses, it all went away. Now I can see just fine. One day, I’d like a red pair. Red’s my favourite colour! One day I want to be a doctor. And if you come see me, I’ll fix you right up.”

When asked, “What will you do for fun when you grow up?” Benissan replied, “Nothing. Grown-ups don’t have fun!”

Through his local child development programme, Benissan was able to access a doctor and receive surgery to restore his eyesight. Not only this, but Benissan also attends school, eats regular nutritious meals, has safe places to play and has opportunities to hear about the Gospel. All thanks to his sponsor and the support of Compassion.
