About Compassion's Child Survival programme
Every day, more than 21,000 children under five die from easily preventable causes. Such a high infant mortality rate demands action to promote effective child development to ensure that children survive the early years when they are most vulnerable to disease and malnutrition.
Compassion's Child Survival programme educates mothers on how to provide a safe home environment and age-appropriate developmental opportunities so that their babies and toddlers have better opportunities for healthy growth. Mothers and caregivers are taught literacy and numeracy skills and many receive support for vocational training and income-generating activities to help improve the long-term economic capacity of their families. Mothers, caregivers and children also receive spiritual nurturing so that they can develop a dynamic lifelong relationship with Christ.

For Timothy Bear, counting the days down to Christmas is full of excitement! At school there is the nativity play to get ready; at home there are decorations to put up, Christmas cards to write and tasty Christmas treats to prepare. It's no wonder Timothy sometimes finds himself daydreaming - floating through time and space, spinning but never dizzy, speeding but never frightened, until he lands with the slightest bump right in the middle of another adventure.
