We cannot always offer God great things, but at each instance we can offer him little things with great love. - St. Jane de Chantal

Compassion Registers 1,000,000 Child

Meet Jeffry. He lives in Nicaragua, and he is Compassion's 1,000,000 registered child.

The difference between a registered child and a sponsored child is that registered children are waiting to be sponsored.

The registered children are the ones whose pictures you see on the web and in the child packets at concerts and other events, such as Compassion Sunday.

The registered children are the children who may wait several months to be chosen by a sponsor and who the Unsponsored Children's Fund assists until that sponsor comes along. The Unsponsored Children's Fund bridges the gap between registration and sponsorship.

Please help Compassion reach 1,000,000 sponsored children. Sponsor a child today.

Are you saying that there are one million children waiting for sponsorship or that there have been one million children in Compassion's programs?

There are approximately 850,000 children currently with sponsors, another 150,000 waiting for sponsors, and millions that aren't being helped at all - by Compassion or any child focused organization.

To clarify a little more, Compassion is currently helping 1,000,000 children. 850,000 of those children already have sponsors. Another 150,000 are receiving the full benefits of sponsorship because of the Unsponsored Children's Fund.
