This is an organization my family and I have personally invested in for nearly 8 years. In 2017, on my third trip to Kenya, I actually had the opportunity to visit a Compassion Project and see, first hand, the work that Compassion is doing. I knew that Compassion was an incredible organization, but I did not realize the extent to which it is an organization that is literally changing lives all over the world.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know that in the past 20 years, HALF of the world&#8217;s population living in global poverty has been LIFTED out of poverty? We&#8217;ve seen incredible improvements&#8230; but we have a long way to go.<\/p>\n<p>Compassion International is one of the oldest and most reputable nonprofits that specializes in the area of child sponsorship &#8211; they focus on the holistic physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional health and well being of the child. Providing education, food, resources, and love &#8211; all in the name of Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>For years, I honestly had this idea in my mind that when you donate money to a child sponsorship organization, it&#8217;s really just disappearing&#8230; the money isn&#8217;t going to impact the child&#8230; it&#8217;s all going to overhead fees&#8230; it&#8217;s just going to pay for travel or unnecessary expenses. Nope! Not at all. In fact, of the $38 a month on average a sponsor donates, on average $33 or MORE goes DIRECTLY to address the needs of THAT child.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t lip service. I&#8217;ve seen it for myself and know countless stories of lives changed through this organization.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-63919\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stillbeingmolly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/16177514_10100812548403599_8533953469363384923_o.jpg\" alt=\"Does Child Sponsorship Really Matter? | Compassion International\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stillbeingmoll.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/16177514_10100812548403599_8533953469363384923_o.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/stillbeingmoll.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/16177514_10100812548403599_8533953469363384923_o-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stillbeingmoll.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/16177514_10100812548403599_8533953469363384923_o-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stillbeingmoll.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/16177514_10100812548403599_8533953469363384923_o-730x483.jpg 730w, https:\/\/stillbeingmoll.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/16177514_10100812548403599_8533953469363384923_o-290x192.jpg 290w, https:\/\/stillbeingmoll.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/16177514_10100812548403599_8533953469363384923_o-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/stillbeingmoll.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/16177514_10100812548403599_8533953469363384923_o-500x331.jpg 500w, https:\/\/stillbeingmoll.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/16177514_10100812548403599_8533953469363384923_o-600x397.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These are images I took in the Compassion Project in Kenya I visited.

At the time, Prince (my sponsored child) was 3 as well, but his birthday was after my daughter&#8217;s so technically she was the big sister. I wasn&#8217;t sure what to expect but I have been so blessed by the experience. Over the last 4 years, we&#8217;ve watched Prince grow so much. He&#8217;s attending school and getting medical care when needed, all due to my small monthly donation. I was fortunate to meet Prince, this past January when I attended a missions trip in Kenya and it was the best part of the trip. I literally cried like a baby when I met him. I hugged him like he was my own son. To see this healthy boy and know that I was able to make a difference in his life, truly changed me. I knew in my head that my money was benefiting him, but I learned in my heart that he and his family were also blessed by my sponsorship. This experience has helped me teach my daughter the importance of caring for people, not only in the US but around the world.

Watching her grow from a shy little girl whose family we later learned from community leaders was considered the poorest family in the village, to a confident young lady now attending high school with dreams of becoming a teacher and impacting children in her community, has been such a joy for us! We have had the privilege of bringing our children to Kenya and spending time with Eunice several times over the years, and going to visit her in her home and meeting her family, which has just been a great opportunity for our children to develop a global world view and be reminded how we can all be a part of impacting the lives of others! The Compassion project leaders in Kenya are so committed to caring for each child individually and each visit we see detailed reports of Eunice\u2019s progress, from school reports, doctor visits, how she is growing spiritually, and little things like receipts for every dollar sent for family gifts. One of our favorite story is how a family gift we sent was used to purchase a goat, which gave birth and the baby goat was sold to pay school fees for Eunice\u2019s brothers and sisters, and we even got to meet the goat! As a family, being a Compassion sponsor family has been so impactful in helping put a real name and a real face with the word \u201cthird world poverty\u201d and understanding the reality that through sharing a small amount of our resources each month, we can actually be a part of helping Compassion and the local church rescue a child from poverty in the name of Jesus!<\/em>&#8221; &#8211;<strong>Amy Lynn K., Compassion sponsor for 10 years.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-63903\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stillbeingmolly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_1518-e1565037871759.jpeg\" alt=\"Does Child Sponsorship Really Matter? | Compassion International\" width=\"975\" height=\"1300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stillbeingmoll.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_1518-e1565037871759.jpeg 975w, https:\/\/stillbeingmoll.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_1518-e1565037871759-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/stillbeingmoll.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_1518-e1565037871759-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/stillbeingmoll.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_1518-e1565037871759-730x973.jpeg 730w, https:\/\/stillbeingmoll.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_1518-e1565037871759-218x290.jpeg 218w, https:\/\/stillbeingmoll.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_1518-e1565037871759-150x200.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/stillbeingmoll.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_1518-e1565037871759-375x500.jpeg 375w, https:\/\/stillbeingmoll.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_1518-e1565037871759-600x800.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 975px) 100vw, 975px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>My family has sponsored a child through Compassion for four years and after meeting her in January of this year it solidified our why!
