About Compassion
Compassion is a Christian international holistic child development organisation that seeks to release children from poverty. Their mission is executed through a threefold approach:
- Christ-Centred: Everything they do is rooted in the teachings and love of Christ.
- Child-Focused: Their programs are designed with the best interests of the children in mind.
- Church-Based: They partner with local churches to reach the children and communities most in need.
What Compassion Does
Compassion operates a robust Child Sponsorship Program and Critical Needs Funds that address immediate and long-term needs. Their work spans education, health, economic empowerment, and spiritual growth, ensuring that each child they serve has the opportunity to thrive.
Thus far, over 2 million children sponsored, over 8,000 local church partners and it keeps growing.
Our Support for Compassion
At Whole In One Communion, one of our core values is being good stewards of our resources. We recognize that all we have comes from God, and we are committed to giving back to support His work. As part of this commitment, we have been supporting Compassion’s Critical Intervention Projects (CIV) since 2021.
Here are some of the impactful projects we’ve contributed to:

Education and Training for Children with Special Needs in Colombia
