Provide Access to Quality Education for People at the Margins
Especially Women & Girls
LPGM is an independent pan-Lutheran 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Since 1995, we have walked alongside global partners, bringing hope to people on the margins.
Our Vision
LPGM envisions a world where relationships transform boundaries and where all people have the resources and opportunities they need to thrive.
Our Mission
LPGM provides access to quality education for people at the margins–especially women and girls. We work together with global partners to listen, respond and bear witness to local needs and priorities.
Why Education?
Education is the best way for students to break cycles of poverty, illiteracy, malnutrition, child marriage, child labor, and abuse.
LPGM provides access to quality education for people at the margins—especially women and girls.
