LATIN AMERICA WORKING GROUP EDUCATION FUND

The Latin America Working Group Education Fund (LAWGEF), a 501 (c) 3 non-profit, was established in 2002 to implement the coalition's educational activities. LAWGEF provides international support for local human rights workers in the region. Our collaboration with human rights networks throughout the region ensures our work reflects the needs of Latin American partners and the values of coalition members. LAWGEF organizes briefings, forums and other public events and coordinates visits by Latin American civil society leaders. The LAWGEF also provides information to the press and publishes reports on Latin American issues and related U.S. policy.
