More and more of our sponsored students are pursuing higher education following graduation. Some go on to vocational or technical training. Increasing numbers attend college to become nurses, doctors, pastors and teachers. Most of them do this with no financial support from their families, and will in fact support their families after entering the workforce.
Giving to the LPGM Extended Study Scholarship Fund allows students like Thirumalai, a graduate of Siloam Boarding Home, to continue pursuing education and a bright future.
Thirumalai (above, in red) is earning her bachelor’s degree. Here, she’s pictured with sister Durgadevi (in blue), a 12th standard student at Siloam, and their proud parents, who farm.
“I don’t have words to express my happiness,” writes Thirumalai. “I am grateful to my sponsor and LPGM for supporting me to continue my higher education.”

Thank you for investing in the lives of amazing young people like Thirumalai and Akila through our Extended Study Scholarship Fund.
