Compassion stands as a leading child focused Christian organization, fueled by an unwavering passion to act on compassion and empower every child vulnerable to poverty. With a focused and personal approach to fighting poverty, our commitment to children is encapsulated in three simple words: Compassion for children. For more than 6 decades, we have been providing children the opportunity to break free from the suffering and fear that poverty brings.
In Tanzania, Compassion’s ministry started in 1999, evolving into one of the largest Christ-centered, church-driven, and child-focused advocacy and development organizations in the country. Collaborating with over 550 Child and Youth Development Centers spanning 21 regions and over 80 districts on the mainland of Tanzania, CIT actively engages in impactful initiatives. Currently, the organization sponsors and supports the well-being of more than 114,000 children throughout the country.
Releasing Children from poverty in Jesus’ name.
We value; Integrity, Excellence, Stewardship, Discernment, Dignity
We help the poorest of the poor, the children in greatest need, without ulterior motive because we are a “love thy neighbor” ministry. Jesus’ life and teachings shape our programs and guide all aspects of our ministry. We serve children and communities of all faith, race and ethnicity with love.
