Compassion International, Inc
Long Business Description

Compassion International is a child-advocacy ministry that pairs compassionate people with those who are suffering from poverty. The ministry releases children from spiritual, economic, social, and physical poverty. The goal is for each child to become a responsible and fulfilled adult.

Compassion's work has grown from modest beginnings in South Korea in 1952 when American evangelist Rev. Everett Swanson felt compelled to help 35 children orphaned by the Korean conflict. Today it is a worldwide ministry where millions of children are now reaping the benefits of one man's clear, God-given vision.

Long Business Description

The Haiti Education Alliance, Inc. (THEA) is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization formed by a diverse group of Christians unified by our shared calling to serve the Lord in Haiti. Cynthia Mudd, the founding president, was part of a medical mission team where she worked as an occupational therapist with those injured by the January 2010 earthquake in Port-au-Prince. After that intense trip and with the encouragement of the Manhattan Church of Christ, a group met to put our hearts and minds together to determine how we can best share God’s love and hope with those affected by such overwhelming devastation and help facilitate long-term, sustainable solutions.

As the hundreds of thousands of people affected by the earthquake throughout the country work to establish a new normal for their lives, it was clear the children needed and wanted to return to school.
