What is the Child Survival Program and why did Compassion start it?
Early childhood is a critical time for children and sets the stage for their future. Without a healthy start, a childs chances of normal development are small. Tragically, in our world today, one out of every 11 children dies before the age of five, mostly from preventable causes. To have the greatest affect on these at-risk little ones, Compassions Child Survival Program works directly with caregivers, as well as expectant mothers, to help them provide a solid foundation physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually for their children.
