Since 1995, Lutheran Partners in Global Ministry (LPGM) has worked - and walked - alongside Christian partners in Central Africa, Guatemala, India, Tanzania, and beyond to provide access to quality education to people at the margins, especially women and girls.
Why focus on education? Because education has the power to break cycles of poverty, abuse, forced child marriage, and more. This is especially true for women and girls.
How do you do it? We walk alongside our global neighbors as they break barriers to education, such as safe shelter, financial support, vocational and literacy training opportunities, and more.
We learn and retell their stories to raise awareness and support.
And, through our unique inter-generational trips, travelers build relationships with our partners and the students we serve, taking home what they learn to impact their own communities.
By providing access to education, we are seeing students from vulnerable populations attend school, stay in school, and succeed!
In other words, EDUCATING TO THE MAX makes MAXimum impact!
Who are our partners? Our global partners are Christian nonprofits or church bodies based in the Central African Republic, Guatemala, India, Tanzania, and beyond. Our partners are from and/or serve populations with exceptional These young women in Tanzania escaped child marriage and now find safe shelter and support through one of LPGM's partners.challenges to accessing education:
