Mission
To alleviate poverty and improve adult education worldwide. We achieve our mission through:
In economic times like we face today, nonprofits have to take an even more resourceful and effective approach at serving their constituents. The saying goes "no man is an island", and that's true. That's why LnP recognizes collaboration among the governmental, nonprofit and private sectors as a fundamental aspect of its structure.
We intend to build on the proven success of partnerships to offer many of our services and promote the work of others through the formation and expansion of an LnP Partner Network. These partners represent a group of businesses, nonprofits and other community based organizations as well as independent professionals who are passionate about our work, the causes we support and the adults we help to obtain a better education and rise up out of poverty.
