I'll admit that I don't know all that much about this program, but I do know that it's yet one other way that Compassion serves poverty-stricken children and their mothers.
A few take-away points that I learned from this article are...
- CPS (Child Survival Program) will expand to Brazil, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Togo in the fiscal year 2013-2014. Once they expand, CSP will be operational in all 26 countries in which Compassion ministers.
- CPS provides a home-based and center-based approach to ministry
- Survival specialists go on home visits to give their support, encouragement and benefits of this program.
- These specialists make sure that babies and toddlers receive nutritious food and supplements to help them grow strong and healthy. They share spiritual guidance and teaching to the mothers.
- On a practical basis, they train the mothers to prepare nutritious meals, how to interact with their children, how to recognize when their child needs a doctor, and other great information.
You can start a sponsorship for this program for just $20 monthly. This sponsorship helps to provide food, supplements, health care, and many other development training and tools for the mothers and their children.
I learned a great deal from this article, and I encourage everyone who is an advocate to read it and pray about how each of us can help raise awareness for this program.
In His peaceful presence,
Sharon
