Compassion Belize

What Compassion Belize does

Compassion Belize is a U.S.-incorporated nonprofit religious organization, formally established in September 2019, that delivers humanitarian aid to families in Belize's Corozal District. Its core services comprise a monthly food pantry targeting 50 families per month (with reserves for hurricane-season emergencies), home repairs, medical assistance, prayer and pastoral counseling, and physical Bible distribution paired with every basic-needs delivery. The organization was founded by Joni Oakley (President, 15+ years of mission experience in Belize) and Rafael "Rafi" Cob (Belize Mission Director, 20+ years working with U.S. mission groups), building on an earlier mission trip partnership between Wellspring Community Church and Riverhills Church that began around 2009 and continued for over a decade.

Operations are split between a U.S. mailing address in Hamilton, Ohio, used for donor engagement, and a primary field office in San Pedro Village, Corozal, where the Mission Director oversees direct service delivery. The board includes officers and members drawn from the Ohio region with professional backgrounds in HR, finance, marketing research, and medical equipment, alongside volunteers managing the website and social channels. The organization also maintains a partnership with the Corozal Christian Scholarship Program, through which approximately 150 high school and higher-education students in the district receive scholarship support annually.

The business model is donation-based with no software or technology products. Supporters can make one-time gifts or recurring monthly contributions at tiered levels of $15 (Mission Director support), $25 (school supplies), $50 (family groceries), and $250 (home repairs). Distribution is direct: services are delivered in person in Belize by the Mission Director and visiting volunteer mission groups, while donations are collected online via the organization's Wix-based website and through church partnerships. Revenue, headcount, and grant funding figures are not disclosed. Longer-term plans include a micro-loan program for entrepreneurs and support for ministry launches, but no technology, AI, or digital-product layer exists.
