CROWD is in Beta

Extreme poverty is a heartless, destructive force that wreaks havoc on every life it touches.

It places more than 330 million children in harm's way.

These are real children. Someone’s daughter, someone’s son. Someone’s everything.

We simply must act. How will you respond?

What is CROWD?

CROWD is more than just giving.
It's a movement. A commitment
to each of us playing our part.
CROWD is more than giving.
It's a movement. A commitment
to each of us playing our part.

CROWD brings three people together to change the world for one child: friends, family, community or like-minded people you've never met.

Three people determined to make a difference. Three people who want to achieve more together than they can apart. Three people who see that true change comes when we stand united.

Each CROWD enables a child living in poverty to attend a local church-based project in their community where they'll receive love, care and protection.

CROWD is a defiant declaration that we refuse to accept a world where children languish in the shadows of severe poverty.

How will you respond?

Your CROWD of 3 could be friends, family or your wider community. Or you could be connected with two other like-minded people you've never met before who are as determined as you to make a difference.

Each member of the CROWD gives £12 a month. You’ll receive updates about the child you’re supporting and can exchange letters to send your love, prayers and encouragement.

What your support achieves

Your CROWD empower Compassion's
church partners in some of the
world's poorest communities.

CROWD is an initiative of the charity Compassion UK.  Compassion’s local church partners know the needs, understand the context, and have a heart to serve the children who need it most.

Your CROWD will enable a child living in poverty to attend a local church-based Compassion project in their community where they will be known, loved and protected.

It empowers church leaders, project staff, parents and family members with the resources they need to provide hope.

Your CROWD will help ensure
a child living in severe
poverty can receive:
  • Vocational training and academic support

  • Life skills training programmes to provide a brighter future

  • Healthcare and nutrition to prevent disease and fight sickness

  • Wellbeing support to help build self-confidence and social skills

  • Ongoing Christian teaching through the local church

Together we can create a world where every child is given the opportunity to escape from poverty, thrive, and become all that God intends them to be.

United for change

By joining a CROWD, you'll have the opportunity to share experiences and build relationships with other supporters like yourself.

Together you'll be part of a powerful support system for a child in need.

Collaborate in writing letters, sharing stories, and providing encouragement to the child you’re supporting. You're in control, contributing as much or as little as you wish to letter-writing or the gift-giving process, yet always feeling a part of a vibrant and supportive community.
