Protecting children is central to our mission. Our staff and partners work tirelessly to safeguard children from all forms of abuse and exploitation, including physical, emotional, sexual abuse and neglect. Children living in poverty are particularly vulnerable to abuse, neglect and exploitation. We are committed to serving as child advocates for children in need. Compassion’s approach to child protection is comprehensive:

• All staff and volunteers annually complete required training aimed at keeping children safe.
• Reporting policies ensure clear communication channels for all child protection concerns.
• We also endeavor to influence their communities by advocating for the rights of children. We host caregiver education meetings to discuss topics that preserve children’s dignity and support their development. We discourage cultural practices that harm children, we educate families on deceptive strategies that people may use to harm or exploit their children. We offer hope and support to struggling families by empowering parents and caregivers to protect their children, and we attend to the needs of children at-risk. 
• We recognize the work of the local church( KPC Amalemba P.A.G Church) as vital to confronting child protection issues in all contexts. We will continue to work toward a world where children everywhere are valued and protected
