Compassions Headquarters is in Colorado Springs so we were able to take a tour of the headquarters.
This is a typical home of the people that Compassion serves. Our tour guide was wonderful and pointed out to us that the blue gas can would be a typical item used to transport water. 3.575 million people die each year from water-related disease.
See the netting? Those can be purchased and donated to a family for 10 dollars. Most of the families Compassion serves live in mosquito infested areas so Malaria is a big concern. Worldwide, an estimated 200 million to 300 million malaria infections occur each year, with 2 million to 3 million deaths.
Here is where all the letters and gifts are processed. Compassion asks that Sponsors correspond with the child they are sponsering, every child writes back too. You can even send them special items on birthdays, or arrange a visit. It is exciting to see pictures and hear from your own special child.
