Want to learn about the tremendous progress that God enabled for LIA last year? Here’s just a glance:
Last year:
- LIA partnered with more than 120 churches
- 47,000 people were served directly by those local church partners, not including their families and the greater community that benefited
- 1,791 people received business and skills training to empower them to provide for their families
- 464 received micro-loans
- 715 people started their own businesses
- In Djibouti, specifically, 16 women were providing for their families in a culture that was previously unaccepting of women business owners
- 19,191 people were served through integrated, church-led community health programs
- LIA helped implement orphaned and vulnerable children programs in seven countries, benefiting nearly 6,400 youth and their families
- Nearly 4,000 youth received education services in varying ways
- 10,000 were evangelized, 600 known to receive Christ and 200 new believers were discipled
