===Child sponsorship===
Children in the child sponsorship program are provided food and clean water, medical care, education, [[Life skills|life-skills]] training, and spiritual guidance through a direct sponsorship. Sponsored children are selected by the sponsors from lists provided by the ministry, and two-way communication is encouraged between the sponsored child and the sponsor. {{As of|2023|11}} the cost to sponsor a child through Compassion was US$43 (£32)<ref>{{Cite web |title=Sponsor a Child {{!}} Child Sponsorship |url=https://www.compassionuk.org/sponsorship/ |access-date=2023-11-22 |website=Compassion UK |language=en}}</ref> per month, and globally there were over two million babies, children, and young adults in its programs.<ref name="Compass">{{cite web|url= https://www.compassion.com/sponsor_a_child/ |title=Sponsor a Child in Extreme Poverty |publisher=Compassion.com |access-date=November 22, 2023}}</ref>

Sponsors are able to visit their sponsored children through trips planned by Compassion International. Compassion's goal is to provide a trip to each country every other year. Compassion coordinates every aspect of the trip, including travel, meals, tips and gratuities, fees related to the travel, and sightseeing fares.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.compassion.com/get-involved/trips-faq.htm#faq-tcm:5-456801 |title=Compassion Trips FAQ |publisher=Compassion.com |access-date=January 31, 2012}}</ref>
