The heart of what we do is in our #partnership with the local #church. At St. Peters Kashenyi Church of #Uganda, the average age of a first-time #mother in their community is 16 years old. As part of our #ChildSurvivalProgram, we are working hard to provide health care, #education and vocational training for these young #mothers. 🇺🇬⛪️🌳 Check out our blog post to see more pictures of churches in developing countries.

Never underestimate the power of #knowledge. We sometimes take it for granted, but #school is not always possible for #children in #poverty. Fortunately this little #girl has the opportunity to #read, #write and receive spiritual development through our program. This will empower her to grow up knowing she is a valued #child in Christ. 🇮🇩📝💭 #learning #indonesia #asia #mindfulness #desk #book #notebook #pencil #wisdom

The #love between #mother and #son is like no other. Angel sweetly lays to rest one of her 2-year-old twin #boys in their family’s #bedroom. As part of our #ChildSurvivalProgram in #Tanzania, Angel receives a helping hand so she can enable the #healthy development of her little ones. Both her and her #babies will be able to #sleep better knowing they’re not alone in those crucial first years! 🇹🇿🛌👶🏾😴 #africa #baby #family #care #sleepy #bed #instapic #wednesdayfeels #instagood #patterns #colorful

These #kids are taking some much needed time to play! Unfortunately, the daily lives of #children in poverty can be very hard and luxury items, like #bikes, are not common. But these buddies in #BurkinaFaso are making the most of what they’ve got and each other! Tag some #friends you want to send a #smile to today and brighten up their #Tuesday! 🇧🇫😄🚲 #africa #besties #bestfriends #instamood #instagood #photooftheday #friendship #happy #boys #bike #bicycle #cycling #bicycling #teamwork

This little #girl sure is cute with her face #paint! We see so much #joy in her face. She has a lot of reasons to be joyful, too.

We believe #prayer is so powerful and that all is possible with God on our side. In one word, what can we #pray with you about? Family? Finances? Future? Something else? Share with us in the comments. 🙏🏽 #boys #ecuador #southamerica #praying #loveoneanother

This precious little #girl found a great place to hang out! She discovered this wheel cart in her neighborhood in #BurkinaFaso. 🇧🇫🇧🇫🇧🇫 We can truly see hope in her eyes and #smile. As part of our program at her local church, she has many reasons to be joyful. We pray that she and other children in poverty will grow up healthy and strong as they learn about who they are in Jesus Christ. #girl #child #picoftheday #photooftheday #instadaily #cute #happy #africa

Happiness is a warm hug! These fun-loving boys in #Indonesia smile, laugh and share life together. When children enter our program, they are able to take part in educational and recreational activities to build their self-confidence and social skills. They make a lot of new friends too! 🇮🇩 🤗😄😃 #asia #sponsorachild #childsponsorship #smiling #laughter #happy #boys #friendship #children

Look at those eyes! 😍 Took the Monday blues right out of us. As part of our #ChildSurvivalProgram, this baby girl and her momma are learning about basket weaving and beading in #Uganda. This is just one of the many educational programs available to new mothers so that this little darling can be provided for and have a better quality of life! 🎀 💕 💗 #girl #cute #baby #pink #beautiful #happy #africa #instamood #photooftheday

Pauldy stands amidst the devastation caused by #HurricaneMatthew. His family's home was torn apart due to damage and effects of the natural disaster, so now not much remains beyond their personal household belongings. For Pauldy and many others in #Haiti, the financial need for rebuilding and recovery is great. Today's blog post contains stories of survivors and ways you can support our brothers and sisters in need. Please visit the link in our bio. 🇭🇹💔🙏🏿 #caribbean #prayforhaiti #hurricane #weather #cookiemonster #sesamestreet

This church in #Thailand is breathtaking! 🇹🇭 Today we celebrate the International Day for Eradication of Poverty by recognizing our partnerships with local churches throughout the world. Our church partners understand their communities, their needs and their children. These buildings may come in different shapes and sizes, but the message is loud-and-clear. God truly cares about the "least of these." ⛪️🙏🏽🙌🏽 Check out the blog today to learn the story of this church and 24 others globally. We think you'll be inspired!

In #Haiti yesterday, a boy looked for letters from his Compassion sponsor among thousands of documents laid out in the sun to dry after being soaked by rains from #HurricaneMatthew. While the church has many digital copies, not all the documents were backed up which will make the recovery from the hurricane all that more difficult. Please visit the link in our bio to help restore hope to those in Haiti who have lost it. 🇭🇹 🇭🇹 🇭🇹
