Compassion International is a child sponsorship and Christian humanitarian aid organization headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado that aims to positively impact long-term development of children living in poverty, globally. As of 2019, the organization coordinated donations from at least ten participating countries, operated childhood programs in 25 impoverished countries (including Bolivia, Colombia, Mexico, Haiti, and Kenya), and involved more than two million participants, from infants through young adults, in its programs. Preliminary independent, secular research in the Journal of Political Economy studied the organisation, concluding that it had large and statistically significant impacts on participant's years of school completion, the probability of later employment, as well as the quality of that employment, in part as a consequence of increased aspirations of participating children. - Source: Wikipedia
