Ten Commandments Granite and Marble first started sponsoring children with Compassion in 2005, with only a couple of children. We now sponsor 12 children from 8yrs to 15yrs old. They come from many different countries such as: Haiti, Brazil, Rwanda, Uganda, Colombia, India, Ecuador, El Salvador, Indonesia, Nicaragua, Burkina Faso, Philippines and Thailand. Our staff love receiving the letters and pictures that the children send us.

Local churches are empowered to develop Compassion’s programs towards meeting the specific and individual needs of the children within their local communities.

Compassion works with the poorest of the poor children, and their communities, in many developing countries around the world in Africa, Asia, Central and South America.

Compassion has 10 partner country offices around the world, which provide the funds, resources, and assistance with program development for the successful implementation of Compassion’s programs in the field.
