INSTITUTIONAL HISTORY
Compassion
International is
an
American child
sponsorship and Christian
humanitarian
aid organization headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado that aims to positively impact
long-term development of children living in poverty, globally.
As of 2019, the organization coordinated donations from at least ten participating countries,
operated childhood programs in 25 impoverished countries (including Bolivia, Colombia,
Mexico, Haiti, and Kenya), and involved more than two million participants, from infants
through young adults, in its programs.
Preliminary independent, secular research in the Journal of Political Economy studied the
organization, concluding that it had large and statistically significant impacts on participants'
years of school completion, the probability of later employment, as well as the quality of that
employment, in part as a consequence of increased aspirations of participating children.
How does Compassion International act compassionately?
Every day, millions of children living in poverty around the world experience compassion as
they participate in our Child Sponsorship Program. Thousands of local churches in low- and
middle-income countries tailor our holistic child development model to the contextualized needs
of the children in their communities to best deliver the care that the children need most.
Each child assisted by our frontline church partners receives whole-life care that is personal,
individualized, relational, and tailored to the child's age, gender, health, culture and family
situation. Whole-life care means we begin, in some cases, with prenatal care and go all the way
through young adulthood.
It means we take a long-term approach to child development and provide opportunities that
encourage healthy spiritual, physical, social and economic development to help each child fully
mature in every facet of life.

The benefits of our Child Sponsorship Program include:
Better health
Better nutrition
Educational and vocational support
Safety and protection
Socio-emotional development

CHILD SPONSORSHIP
Children in the child sponsorship Program are provided food and clean water, medical care,
education, life-skills training, and spiritual guidance through a direct sponsorship. Sponsored
children are selected by the sponsors, and two-way communication is encouraged between the
sponsored child and the sponsor. As of January 2019 the cost to sponsor a child through
Compassion was US$38 per month, and globally there were over two million "babies, children
and young adults" in its programs.
Sponsors are able to visit their sponsored children through trips planned by Compassion
International. Compassion's goal is to provide a trip to each country every other year.
Compassion coordinates every aspect of the trip including travel, meals, tips and gratuities, fees
related to the travel, and sightseeing fares.
Compassion operated in India for 48 years, with its $45 million in transfers a year, making it
India's largest single foreign donor. Compassion provided services under its Child Sponsor
Program to 145,000 Indian children. In 2015, Compassion affiliates' offices were raided by tax
investigators seeking evidence whether it was funding religious conversions. Compassion said it
was then forced to direct funding to non-Christian Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh groups.
Compassion refused to do so as it would be a misuse of funds that donors all around the world
trusted them with. After talks back and forth, in 2017, the Government of India barred
Compassion from transferring funds into India, forcing the group to close its operations in that
country.The Ministry of External Affairs later clarified that the ban had nothing to do with the
ideology of Compassion International
9
Compassion has been working in Kenya since 1980. These Kenya facts and statistics provide a
good picture of the reality of poverty and how child sponsorship through Compassion is making
a difference.
Poverty is a problem in the country of Kenya but with your support, Compassion is working to
change this. The Kenya facts tell a difficult story, but Compassion is bringing hope in the midst
of the difficulties. Our programs are changing the statistics one child at a time.

BENEFICIARY SELECTION.
During my attachment I was inviolved in beneficiary selection since our desire is to seve the
neediest motheran, bibies , children and youth within its reach. Therefore, it is important to
assess the relative poverty and vulnerability of those within our local community. This allows us
to determine who we can best serve and impact while maintaining integrity in the program and
with sponsors

CHALLENGES AND RECOMMEDATION
Challenges Faced During the Attachment
Workload
There was a lot of work compared to the number of the employees in the organization and the
customers handled per day. This led to working overtime to meet the day’s target and serve all
the clients.
Lack of Motivation
Despite the work done by the employees, the organization management did not motivate their
employee’s effort. The overtime work done by the employees was not compensated.
Lack of Transparency
There was no transparency on the handling of the cash in the organization that led to
misappropriation of funds by the management. The organization did not provide the data on the
money received and the interests made by the organization per month.
Lack of Job Specialization
The assigning of duties was done randomly without recognizing individuals’ qualifications that
sometimes led to confusion in the organization. It was also difficult to handle the areas which
were not the area of your specialisation.
Language Barrier Dealing With Semi Illiterate Clients
It was a challenge dealing with clients who were semi illiterate. Explaining and responding to
their inquiries was a challenge.

CONCLUSION
I gladly appreciate Juja sub-county development Authority for giving me an opportunity as an
attaché in their organization. I have acquired a lot of knowledge in purchasing and supplies. I
would also want to thank my Organization supervisor for the continued support during my
period of placement, together with Mount Kenya University university Organization fraternity
management department for the support offered.
Corporate Internship is an important practical training as l was able to link theory with practice
for instance what l learned. Due to exposure to different units in the Logistics Department, I was
able to utilize my interpersonal skill especially when dealing finance. It has also enabled me to
be a good time planner and cope with working of shifts between sections and met my objectives
on time.
RECOMMENDATIONS

The department should train their current workforce on the proper records management
practices for safe retrieval of the same in the future.

The operation should increase the labour force in the Logistics management department
as this would increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the employees.

The Materials storage should be well ventilated and well-kept in order to preserve the
items stored.

The policies should be implemented in order to guide the Logistics management.

The Operation should increase materials handling equipment to ensure effective and
efficiency materials handling and storage.
