Independent research proves that Compassion’s sponsorship programme gives children a life-changing foundation of primary education, vocational skills training and a mentor to help them plan for their future. Our Education Interventions enable children to go even further.

“My name is Sameson Tilahun. When I was five-years-old my mother left me at my aunt’s house. I didn’t realise she wasn’t coming back for me. Nobody spoke my language and I didn’t have enough to eat.
I can still remember the day when our neighbour took me to the Compassion project. It felt like I had gone from one world to another. At the project I was given extra tuition. I was taught woodworking and this is how I now make an income. I run my own woodworking business.
My old project arranged for sponsored children to learn training from my workshop. I’m very happy to be a role model. Looking back, I am very grateful for the opportunities I have been given.”
