Since 1958, LM International has been operating in the world's highly vulnerable communities in response to the most dire needs of the impoverished communities in more than 80 countries. 

Our ultimate goal is for healthy and empowered people to create a future for themselves in ways that do not compromise the planetary health and lives of future generations. 

We believe that all people are unique and of equal value regardless of belief, gender, ethnicity, or anything else as basis for discrimination. In all our work, we are guided by the Golden Rule: 'In everything, do to others as you would have them do to you'.
 
We build relationships with governments, partner organisations, donors, civil society, nonprofits, private sector, academia, individuals, and grantees to drive sustainable change by bringing in resources, expertise, and vision. The on-the-ground expertise and deep understanding of the issues we care about exhibited by our local partners plays a pivotal role in driving innovation and development.

THEMATIC AREAS LM International aims to contribute to the Global Goals (SDGs). On the basis of our purpose (in our statutes), our knowledge and our history as well as the needs in the priority geographical areas, our primary aim is to focus on Goal 1 No Poverty, Goal 3 Good Health and Well-being, Goal 4 Quality Education, and Goal 6 Clean Water and Sanitation. LM International’s statutes contain an orientation towards health, while IAS primarily has knowledge and experience of working with WASH. In many aid efforts and projects, we have been involved in education or training/skills development. We intend to continue in education and skills as we see education and learning as fundamental to social development and to a sustainable society. GLOBAL GOALS - That more individuals have access to clean water - That more individuals have a better standard of health - That more individuals have literacy skills
