At CHF, we define true compassion as "love in action." Our love for children, our yearning to ease their suffering, becomes compassion when we offer them tangible help. Our active compassion makes it possible to give children the hope they need to overcome the despair and sorrow caused by poverty. At an empty table in an inner-city home, compassion is a box of food delivered in love. In a rural village far from water and medicine, compassion is a pair of shoes for walking long miles. In the rubble after an earthquake, compassion is a word of hope and a hot meal. Read More About Other Programs:

CHF’s Uganda Mercy Network has fed, discipled, and empowered families in impoverished communities for nearly five years. Following is the story of one woman’s journey from desperation to hope.
Robinah’s story is a fantastic example of the positive change that can happen in a life through the care of a local church. Abandoned by her husband, Robinah was left alone, without a job or skills, to provide for her seven children. “Feeding my children was an uphill task”, she said. “We resorted to having one meal per day.” Some days they did not eat at all. In desperation she tried to plant a small garden, but the harvest was too long in coming to bank their hopes on. “We needed a divine intervention for us to survive.”

The year-old church had been worshipping God together when a mob of ethnic religious leaders and their followers destroyed the cottage where the believers were meeting; physically beating them and running them out of their village. The mob threatened more violence if they ever gathered or spoke about Christ again.
