Defeating a pandemic

Compassion found me in the midst of

frustrations of poverty and death. I was poor

and had no hope for tomorrow. Compassion

enhanced my life and [the lives] of my

children. My life has changed after receiving

the nutritious food at the project. We have

a future. My son is getting all the necessary

medical attention. He is in school. Compassion

has strengthened us with hope. God bless

Compassion and sponsors.”

— Judith, mother of Iradukunda, an HIV-positive 8-year-old receiving antiretroviral therapy through Compassion’s AIDS Initiative
