What’s the difference between a project and school?

As part of our holistic approach to child development, our Child Sponsorship Programme complements and supplements the school systems where we work.

All the children in our Child Sponsorship Programme, regardless of country, are required to attend their normal school system. Through the contextual and localised application of our programme in each country we work in, we not only address the academic (cognitive) but also the socio-emotional and physical.

We provide an age-appropriate curriculum to our church partners to help minister to the children consistently. The curriculum is based on the outcomes we hope to see in the four facets of child development: body, mind, spirit and heart.

The child you sponsor attends a church-driven Compassion project. Project activities are usually held on Saturdays. You can find out more about how a Compassion Project works here.
