So, I've already sang my praises about World Vision- who, by the way, was featured in Bethany Hamilton's Soul Surfer movie.
Now, I'd like to share another amazing organization dedicated to children. In fact, Compassion International helps over 1 million children around the world today.
"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." (http://www.compassion.com/)
Much like World Vision, their biggest program is through sponsorship. For $38 a month, a sponsored child will receive food, clean water, medical care, education, and they will learn about Jesus, a gift worth more than any numerical form.
You can search through their database of children worldwide, in need of sponsors. They even reference children that live in an AIDS impacted area or children who have been waiting for a sponsor for up to six months.
