The mission of Compassion Care is to offer sponsorship programs that provide safe, nurturing schools for children whose families have little or no economic means, and medical care for them and their families. In rural villages, Compassion Care provides villagers with medical and dental care, educational facilities for children, food for the hungry, and scholarships for those wishing to attend a university, Trade School, or other institute of higher learning. At Compassion Care healing is viewed as a process of growth and self-empowerment predicated on nurturing the individual, which necessarily includes love, unconditional acceptance, unbridled encouragement and ceaseless prayer. In addition Compassion Care is committed to providing safe, hygenic water and a nutritious meal to those who have not eaten; creating opportunities for bright, underprivileged youngsters to attend school; making sure clothes and shoes are made available to children who have none. Compassion-Care is also about binding up the deep wounds of want by providing shelter for those who lack a roof over their heads, and teaching indigenous peoples the skills necessary to support themselves and even generate a decent income.
