Compassion International Kenya

Compassion International Kenya Compassion International exists to release children from poverty in Jesus' name. Founded by the Rev. In Kenya, Compassion started its ministry in 1980.

Compassion International exists as a Christian child advocacy ministry that releases children from spiritual, economic, social and physical poverty and enables them to become responsible, fulfilled Christian adults. Everett Swanson in 1952, Compassion began providing Korean War orphans with food, shelter, education and health care, as well as Christian training. Through our worldwide ministry, we recognize that poverty is beyond a lack of money. Therefore, Compassion works with local Churches to address the spiritual, physical, economic, educational, and socio-emotional needs of children. Today, we assist over 2 million children and youth from poor households in 25 countries globally. After the enactment of the NGO Act, we were re-registered as an INGO in 1993. Compassion Kenya now works with over 30 different evangelical denominations in 30 counties across Kenya. Compassion Kenya partners with over 452 local churches spread throughout the country to minister to over 130,000 needy children and youth.

Today, we join the rest of Africa in commemorating the Day of the African Child 2026 under the theme: "Ensuring Access to Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) for Every Child in Africa."

Access to safe water changes lives.

Over the past five years, Compassion Kenya's WASH interventions have reached an estimated 58,000 children through more than 150 church partners across the country. We have supported the construction and rehabilitation of 51 water projects, established over 2,000 household sanitation facilities, installed 200 handwashing stations, and improved access to safe drinking water for more than 10,000 participants, families, and community members.

The result? Healthier children, reduced waterborne diseases, improved school attendance, greater dignity for girls, and stronger, more resilient communities.

Investing in WASH is investing in children's futures.

As we approach the Day of the African Child 2026, we are reminded that children's rights extend beyond survival; they include protection, dignity, participation, education, and the opportunity to thrive.

At Compassion Kenya, our advocacy is rooted in a simple but powerful belief: every child must be known, loved, and protected.

Together, let us continue building communities where children are protected from abuse, exploitation, neglect, and harm, and where they can reach their God-given potential.
