Compassion International exists as a Christian child advocacy ministry that releases children from spiritual, economic, social and physical poverty and enables them to become responsible, fulfilled Christian adults.

Founded by Rev. Everett Swanson in 1952, Compassion began providing Korean War orphans with food, shelter, education and health care, as well as Christian training.

Today, Compassion helps more than 1 million children in 25 countries.

“I have been fighting poverty for more than 30 years and throughout that time I have never seen the potential for devastation that I see in the current global food crisis. I know it’s difficult to imagine that something like rising food costs could be so destructive. It’s not as if hunger rumbles like an earthquake. He doesn’t announce himself like a passing wind of a cyclone. He destroys, but you never see him.” – Wess Stafford In Bangladesh, 90% percent of the 12,000 children in Compassion-assisted centers are affected. Many of them receive their only meal for the day from the center. In Haiti, almost all 60,000 children Compassion serves has been affected and many families are spending more than 80% of their income on food alone. And the hunger continues elsewhere as well.
