Your donation ensures your sponsored child receives a Christmas gift. You are also welcome to donate extra to provide gifts for unsponsored children, ensuring that every one of the 2.3 million children in our program receives a gift.

Staff at the Child Development Centers know every child well. They choose gifts that bring joy while meeting the children's specific needs. Some children receive a toy, others clothing or a warm blanket. Still others might receive a goat for milk or food supplies for the whole family.

At the Compassion Child Development Center in northern Peru, the Christmas party is one of the highlights of the year. Carefully prepared by Compassion staff, the celebration is an unforgettable day for the children and their families—full of laughter, gratitude, hope, and genuine community.
