Compassion Countries in Africa

Africa is Earth's second-biggest continent, after Asia. It includes 54 countries and many people groups — each with their own languages, foods and customs. Cool animals like gorillas swing through Africa's jungles. Lions and giraffes roam the grasslands. But even though Africa is amazing in many ways, it also has a lot of poverty. That's why Compassion partners with churches to help kids in African countries.

One big need in Africa is clean water. Some people walk for hours a day just to get the water they need. Sometimes the water has germs that make them sick. Thanks to sponsors, kids get clean water at their church-run Compassion centers. Some churches build wells of clean water in sponsored children's villages. They show kids how to clean water so they don't get sick. Sponsored kids also get food, playtime, Bible lessons, health checkups and tutoring at their centers!

The Art of Survival

Reverend Mireku, leader of GH 312 - Shiloh Child Development Center, with 296 children, created a way for families to secure and generate an income by raising and selling rabbits in their community. He educates each child and family the basics of rearing rabbits for sale and food. This money is to help secure future and high education for the children. Through the center he teaches the importance of higher education and how to develop the business of selling rabbits. Reverend Mirekyu has also purchased through the center a plot of land in which his goals are to raise livestock and farm to benefit the center and the children.  A child, boy, youth, wearing a blue shirt, smiles as he holds his hand and gives a plant leaf, green food, feeding, taking care of, rearing, raising, rabbits, bunny, farm animal, brown and white bunny in a wooden cage, box, outside, outdoor bunny cage.
