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.
Highlights of Your Impact in 2024
Your gifts in 2024 provided access to quality education for people at the margins—especially women and girls. You provided the resources and opportunities that vulnerable people in some of the world's poorest areas need to thrive. Because of you:
- In India, boarding home students enjoyed fresh paint, new toilet doors, roof repairs, and more! Friends like you funded these crucial maintenance and repair projects.
- In the Central African Republic, women and girls continued to grow their functional literacy skills.
- In Guatemala, indigenous girls living high in the cloud forest learned about agriculture, ecology, health, nutrition, and more. And your scholarship support incentivized them to stay in school.
- And in Tanzania, teachers and students received peace training, and even more girls escaping forced early marriage and abuse found safety and security thanks to the safe house expansion you funded!
You have shared God’s love through your prayers, gifts, and service to LPGM, giving vulnerable students a chance at an education and a better future. We have so much to be grateful for as we look back at 2024. And we look ahead to the coming year filled with hope.

Guatemala: WALC Program
Every year during school break, our partner Community Cloud Forest Conservation (CCFC) runs the Women in Agroecology Leadership for Conservation (WALC) program. WALC is a holistic leadership training program for Q'eqchi' Maya girls and single young women ages 13-26 in the Central Highlands of Guatemala, where most girls drop out of school after sixth grade.
After completing the program and establishing their own agroforestry parcel on their family's farm, participants receive financial support to make attending school for the next year possible.
The 2024 WALC session ran from November 30 to December 13, and WALC participants celebrated the first day of Advent (see below) on the second day of the session.
The session was a great success, drawing 143 participants from 48 villages across five departments (states).
Rob Cahill, CCFC's co-founder, reported that this was "probably one of the best WALC sessions ever" due to the exceptional depth and maturity of the 18 teachers. He gushed, "This was a zenith - a real high point - for the WALC program."
Your support of WALC scholarships through LPGM is keeping girls in school, breaking cycles of poverty, and fighting extreme weather.
Total Program Expenses: $27,500

"The trip to Guatemala was a powerful example of the ways relationships transform boundaries. We were an intergenerational group from Minnesota. We met up with a small family, with Guatemalan and Honduran roots, from Pennsylvania. We ate, hiked, played, swam and learned with the WALC leaders. Age, language, socio-economics, religion, food and cultural identity might have kept us apart, but the holy and the human spirit kept stepping across those lines to present us all with the precious and sacred gift of each other."
-The Rev. Sara Spohr, 2024 Guatemala Traveler, senior pastor at Lake Nokomis Lutheran Church in Minneapolis, Minn.
Q'eqchi' Maya girls who participated in the December 2024 WALC program are more likely to stay in school than their peers. They're also improving their families' agricultural practices to be more economical, nutritional, and environmentally friendly.
Spotlight on WALC Alumna: Sandra Maria Xol Paau
Sandra Maria Xol Paau lives in San Juan Chamelco in Alta Verapaz, Guatemala. Since 2016, she has participated in the WALC program through our partner, Community Cloud Forest Conservation. Her experience with WALC has transformed her life in ways she never could have imagined.
According to Sandra, while she has learned about environmental conservation, the WALC program has also provided so much more.
"It has also opened paths to pursue my dreams. I have had the opportunity to learn from committed and inspiring people. I have also seen the positive impact that we can have on our communities and the world. Through WALC, I have learned the importance of working in a team and fighting for our goals. Each step on this path has brought me closer to my aspirations."
Sandra is bursting with excitement about the upcoming year. She is planning on continuing her studies at Mariano Galvaz University. Majoring in sociolinguistics, she is specifically studying bilingual and intercultural education. She chose this area of study because it allows her "to contribute to the education of our communities and to promote respect for our languages and cultures."
Sandra expresses her profound gratitude for the friends of LPGM who have contributed to WALC scholarships. She shares, "Your generosity and commitment have been fundamental for my education journey. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for believing in us and the world we can create."
Tanzania: Eripoto & Mwangaza
"Looking back on 2024, I am filled with a profound sense of gratitude for the remarkable progress Eripoto for Girls
and Women has made. This year has been one of growth, learning, and resilience. The achievements we
celebrate today are a direct result of your unwavering support and the collective efforts of our dedicated team, partners, and supporters."

Eripoto for Girls and Women
Eripoto's Safe House Program has protected survivors of harmful cultural practices - like forced early marriage - since 2022. In 2024, you helped shelter and support 33 girls, 4 toddlers, and 2 boys.
With the need for safe housing on the rise, Eripoto’s founder, Esuvat Lukumay, and board felt called to expand. More bedrooms mean more housing for girls who have nowhere safe to go, so they can stay in school and work toward brighter futures.
Thanks to you, in 2024 Eripoto broke ground on a new building next door to the original safe house. In addition to housing more girls in need, the new building will also create more space for the preschool Esuvat opened in 2024, and served 30 children. These young students are a mix of children born to safe house girls and village children.
Besides the safe house and preschool, Eripoto is committed to community outreach and education to prevent early marriage and harmful cultural practices. In 2024, Eripoto provided life skills training in seven schools, reaching 3,544 students.
Eripoto's Heart-to-School Initiative also gave 200 rural schoolgirls essential supplies like exercise books, sanitary pads, soap, and other basic hygiene necessities.
Total Program Expenses: $77,166
Mwangaza Education for Partnership
While LPGM's partnership with Mwangaza - the Swahili word for "light" - began in 2018 with a Safe School Initiative, Mwangaza has been promoting peace and safety in Tanzania since 1996.
The Safe School Initiative includes Peace Clubs and Peace Summits for students, teacher education, and parent-community workshops at 13 secondary schools across five districts in Tanzania, including three new schools that joined at the end of 2024.
The shared goal across these programs is to create more emotionally and physically safe schools for all people to thrive.
Peace Clubs meet weekly, and in most schools, the clubs are comprised of around 100 students. Members range from 12-18 years old.
At Peace Summits, students join together to share song, dance, poetry, and skits to illustrate what they have learned in their Peace Clubs. In 2024, 3,700 students attended five Peace Summits.
Using tools including nonviolent communication, growth mindset, stress management, and empathy, Mwangaza equips students, teachers, and parents to be the next generation of peacemakers - not only in their schools and communities - but also in their own lives.
Total Program Expenses: $25,000
"When I was about to be married off, I thought my future was over. But thanks to Eripoto, I escaped and continued my education. Now, I am studying to become a pharmacist and am reminded daily of my strength to follow my dreams."
-Nganashe, Survivor, Eripoto Resident
“What I like about Peace Club is I raise my talents and my confidence. It has improved my academic performance because we gain knowledge and skills which I can apply in class and in group discussion. I learn how to treat others well, especially those with disabilities, and how to preserve our environment.”
-Debora, Mwangaza Peace Club Participant
"Eripoto has been a bridge for me to pursue and achieve my dreams, providing not only essentials but also teaching me to face challenges. I now have great hope for my future and
aspire to help other girls facing similar challenges."
-Namayani, Survivor, Eripoto Resident
"We were told we were family at nearly every turn and their actions held up their word. Conversations with Esuvat, listening to their stories, and interacting brought the other side of the world to life. I felt their love. (I also felt it from our group). I am finding more connections to my faith everyday: the trip connected me to my faith by my gaining an understanding of how I can 'be witness to.'"

Central African Republic: Literacy Program
During a pivotal meeting in 2018, women leaders from the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Central African Republic (ELC-CAR) emphasized that women’s literacy was a top priority. They believed prioritizing literacy for women and girls would enhance their quality of life by creating income generating opportunities and by promoting dignity. This discussion led to the creation of a joint initiative between LPGM and the social work arm of the ELC-CAR called OSEEL - a literacy program pilot project for 80 women and girls in the cities of Bouar, Gallo, and Baboua.
The one-year pilot launched in fall 2023, with the training of instructors in both Bouar and Bangui. OSEEL Manager Jean Paul reported, “I am very impressed by the dynamism and motivation of the young girls and women.” He also expressed that while participants mourn their missed opportunity to learn to read at a young age, they are determined to make up for lost time.
Pilot programs always come with great learning opportunities. Jean Paul let us know that many women couldn’t attend sessions during busy agricultural periods, because women in CAR are deeply involved with farming and had to prioritize planting and harvesting. The women and girls wanted to continue learning, but also needed to provide for their families.
He suggested lightening the future program schedule during busy farming periods, so that women aren’t forced to choose between learning and supporting their families.
According to Jean Paul, the participants from the 2024 launch wished to continue the program in 2025. In fact, many women and girls from other cities reached out requesting similar programs closer to them. (Special note: your sustained financial support and prayers have allowed this joint venture to continue in 2025!)
Jean Paul shares, "The women, through me, say thank you for this project that values them... Be blessed for the work you do for the valorization and dignity of women.”
Total Program Expenses: $6,064

Participant spotlight: Deborah and Doumba
Deborah Patouma is a 27-year-old mother of four and a literacy instructor at the Cantonnier Center in the Central African Republic (CAR).
Throughout 2024, Deborah taught crucial literacy skills in the classroom, but her role became more than that. She consistently listened to her students' stories and bore witness to their struggles and triumphs as women. She became a trusted leader by helping her students feel seen and valued.
One of her stand-out students this past year was Doumba Pélagie, a 25-year-old mother of three. Living over four miles from the village, she still came to class every day. Doumba’s father hadn't sent her to school as a child, so she has been fiercely determined to make up for lost time.
According to Deborah, Doumba quickly learned to read, write, and count well. She hopes to continue her studies in the new year, because after being given an opportunity to learn, she doesn’t want to let go.
Literacy is powerful in more ways than one. It allows women in CAR to fight against gender-based violence and to demand gender justice, gives them a chance to generate income for their families, and helps them to preach and glorify God.
In fact, Deborah’s own instructor's salary goes towards keeping her children in school, and she is pleased to be able to support her husband with this expense.
Simply put, as women and girls are taught to read and write, they will have a better chance at rising out of poverty and will teach their children, future children, and communities. Invest in a woman’s education, and everyone around her will also benefit.

India: ALC Boarding Homes & English+
In 2024, LPGM continued to work with partners in India to support access to education for students at the margins, especially Dalit and Tribal (indigenous) students. LPGM currently supports two major programs in Tamil Nadu:
- Project Education India (PEI) consists of a student sponsorship program at four Arcot Lutheran Church (ALC) boarding homes and also includes the Wish List and Extended Study programs.
- English+ began in 2007 out of the need for improved English learning in ALC schools. It has recently expanded to the ALC boarding homes through English Club.
ALC Boarding Homes
LPGM continued our long-standing partnership with the ALC in 2024. The ALC is a Dalit-led church, for Dalit people.
Many of the students living in the ALC boarding homes are also Dalit, which means "oppressed" or "broken". Members of this group have sometimes been called "untouchable," because they are considered to be born outside of the Indian castes, historically given unsanitary work, and therefore also thought of as spiritually contaminated. Dalit people gave themselves this name in the 1930s in an effort to reclaim this previously derogatory term.
While Dalit people are citizens of India, have rights under the Indian Constitution, and are supported through constitutional provisions and reservation policies, this group continues to face pervasive discrimination when accessing education, housing, employment, and political participation. Women and girls experience high rates of sexual violence, sex and labor trafficking, early and forced marriage, and harmful cultural practices. Studies also show that Dalit people have comparatively poor health outcomes.
Thanks to sponsors like you, however, Dalit students receive safe shelter, nutritious meals, medical care, spiritual enrichment, and access to quality education. Students across the four ALC boarding homes benefited from your support in 2024.

Spring Refresh at the Boarding Homes
In Spring 2024, we reached out to you about crucial maintenance and repair projects at the four boarding homes in India that had unfortunately gone unaddressed due to a lack of funds.
We referenced the pressing need for fresh paint, new toilet doors, roof repairs, and more. We called on you to help fund these urgent projects through a "spring refresh" initiative.
You answered our call and blew us away with your enthusiastic response. Your gifts exceeded our goal of $40,000 by June 15, 2024. Thank you!
At Siloam Boarding Home, two new water heaters and their respective panels were installed.
At Melpattambakkam Boarding Home, 34 bathrooms were refurbished and equipped with new doors and 32 upgraded toilets.
At Saron Boarding Home, the children’s park was renovated to provide a safer and more enjoyable environment for younger children to play.
In the Kalrayan Hills, fans and mosquito nets were installed, and roofs were repaired, to make the boarding homes safer and more comfortable.
\
“I thank God for all the best things the children receive for their life enhancement. Happy to inform you that the maintenance work has been completed successfully. The whole campus looks awesome and beautiful. The paint and the roof work look so fresh and lively. The total ambience has changed! The children feel joyous and the parents welcome it happily.
-Rev. D. Godwyn Prasannakumar, Manager of Kalrayan Hills Boarding Home
Boys from the Kalrayan Hills stand proudly in front of a campus building with a new roof and fresh coat of paint.
Student Reflections on the Spring Refresh
"As I walked into the classroom after the summer holidays, I was immediately captivated by the vibrant colors that adorned the walls. The artist's use of bold colors makes it feel alive. The cheerful yellows and deep browns worked harmoniously to brighten the atmosphere, creating an inviting environment that inspires learning and collaboration. This vivid painting turns an ordinary classroom into a lively place where ideas can flourish and imagination can soar, making it a truly delightful space to be in."
-Kamalesh, Student at Saron Boarding Home
“During the rainy and winter seasons, taking a cold shower early in the morning can lead to discomfort and an increased risk of illness. With the newly installed water heaters, hot water is now readily available, ensuring a more comfortable bathing experience during colder months. The heaters are being used regularly and have proven to be highly beneficial, particularly for individuals who are unwell and require warm water for their health and well-being.”
-Kishana, Student at Siloam Saron Boarding Home
Our hostel roof leaked water during the rainy season, and it leaked from time to time. Due to this, we could not sleep or stay in our rooms. Out of a total of eleven student dormitories, about 8-9 rooms leaked water, and the situation was very bad...But this year we got a solution. Because LPGM approved the project to repair the roofs. As a result, new metal sheets were installed on the old roofs of the student dormitories in Kariyalur Students’ Hostel. Due to this, the problem of water leakage during the rainy season is completely gone.
-Indhumathi, Student at Kalrayan Hills Boarding Home
“After the summer break, I returned to the boarding home and saw the repair work had begun. At that moment, I felt very happy. From now on, there is no need to wait to use the toilet or worry about which one is in good condition."
-Srimathi, Student at Siloam Saron Boarding Home
Student Spotlight: Kaviya
After graduating from Siloam in 2022, Kaviya pursued a Bachelor of Science degree in fashion technology at Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan College. During her second year, her family struggled to pay her school fees.
They tried taking out a low-interest loan, but they ended up having to borrow money with a high interest rate to pay for her studies.This strategy proved unsustainable, and her family began pressuring her to drop out. To make ends meet, Kaviya found a job at a grocery store and worked there on weekends and school breaks.
Aswini, a member of LPGM’s India team, called her to check in and heard about the situation.
In Aswini’s words, “Kaviya is a dedicated and intelligent student... I believe she is deserving of support and would benefit greatly.”
Because of supporters like you, LPGM’s Extended Study program provided financial support Kaviya. When her single mother heard about the LPGM scholarship, she was so relieved.
According to Aswini, “Her mother spoke to me with such emotion, and the entire family conveys their heartfelt thanks to LPGM.” When Aswini told Kaviya the good news, “she was truly happy.”
The English+ Program
English is the unifying language of India, so it is advantangeous for students, who speak Tamil, to learn it. In 2007, the English+ program was born out of the need for improved English learning in Arcot Lutheran Church (ALC) schools.
English+ staff train elementary-level ALC school teachers how to effectively instruct classes in English. Until recently, the program primarily focused on supporting schools outside the boarding homes. This year, however, English+ expanded its reach to include the ALC boarding homes.
In August 2024, English Club officially began at Saron Boarding Home, with 60 students participating. English+ instructors use a variety of strategies to teach English, from having students write paragraphs about their lives to matching photos to the correct vocabulary words.
“They are probably 70-80% less afraid of English than when they started learning,” according to Epzi, an English+ Instructor at Siloam Boarding Home.
Your support of English+ makes transformative pilot programs like this possible!
Update: By 2025, English Club had been launched at the other three boarding homes.
Total Program Expenses: $24,286

Wish List Fund
Your gifts to the Wish List allow the four ALC boarding homes to purchase special supplies and treats and to offer enrichment activities that fall outside of established budgets but enhance the lives of boarding home students.
In 2024, your Wish List gifts allowed ALC boarding homes to purchase sports equipment, musical instruments, games, clothes, hats, school supplies, reusable water bottles, and bedding. Wish list funds also provided students with laddu (a sweet treat) at Christmastime and ice cream parties to celebrate the end of their school year. Thank you for bringing a little extra magic to boarding home life with your gifts to this fund!
Total Program Expenses: $36,316

"The best part of traveling to the schools in India was meeting my sponsored student. It was wonderful to connect with her and her friends. As an added bonus, I was able to travel to the village where my student lived and meet her family. It was so heart-warming to make that connection."

Rebecca Totzke, a member at Bethlehem Lutheran Church (Minneapolis, Minn.), hosted an event at her home in December 2024 to share the story of Eripoto and to provide an opportunity to "shop" the gorgeous handicrafts made by Eripoto girls. The night raised $369 to support Eripoto's safe house program.
Retirements
In 2024, we celebrated the retirements of two transformative staff, Naomi Staruch and Mary Peterson.
Mary Peterson
On December 31, our beloved program director retired after 12 years of outstanding service to LPGM. She oversaw Project Education India (working with student sponsors) and LPGM's other partnerships, and managed international travel. Mary's dedication, expertise, and warmth have helped shape our organization into what it is today.
