Child Development

Transformed children transform their communities.

Maria grew up in a dangerous neighbourhood in Peru, unsure if her parents would ever be able to afford her education. “My sponsor shared their life with me. Even simple things that made me feel a part of their family. They encouraged me to dream big and to trust God for my future. I believe you can never imagine how that will impact the life of a child. For me, it was life changing. Transform the life of a child by sponsoring today.

We recently asked some parents in our programs what it feels like to live in poverty. Frangky: “I know exactly how it feels when I don’t have money or food,” he explains. “It makes us feel empathy for others.” For Olive in Uganda, poverty steals dreams. “When someone is in absolute poverty, the reason they fail to plan is because they see nothing they can plan for. But if supported and helped, people can get out of poverty.” Click below to learn about Compassion’s child development program. Development Programs, Political Economy, A Child Is Born

Poverty Explored: What is the Impact on Children? Poverty has a devastating impact on children all around the world. It takes away their chance to learn and play, and in many cases leads to exploitation, violence or even death. Children are often the most vulnerable members of the community and poverty only intensifies that position. If you’d like to know more about how poverty affects children, read our new Poverty Explored blog series on our website.

So, what can we do to help with COVID-19 in Asia?

COVID-19 is rapidly undoing two decades of steady progress in the reduction of extreme poverty. For children in the developing world—the worst affected by poverty—this means an increased risk of child labour, child marriage, family violence, missing school, broken relationships and going hungry. So, what can we do to help? You can learn more about how poverty affects children by reading our latest Poverty Explored blog series on our website.

Hope Restored in Oosamai's family

In the past, Oosamai's family would move to find work wherever they could. Thanks to the support of Compassion's local church partner his sons are attending school consistently for the first time, empowering them towards a different, sustainable future. Childhood poverty itself is the main reason why poverty continues in the next generation. But holistic child development changes this story from the inside out. Sponsor a child in our neighbouring continent of Asia today.
