George Landegger - Supporting Higher Education

George Landegger has long been a supporter of higher education. He funds numerous scholarships and is even the chairman of the Higher Education Commission in the state of Alabama. He wants to make everyone aware of the benefits of higher education and help make it possible for everyone.

People who attend college are much more likely to find better-paying jobs and jobs that they enjoy. 
They may also experience greater cultural awareness. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the median weekly earnings in 2014 for high school graduates aged 25 and older were $668, while the median for individuals aged 25 and older with bachelor's degrees was $1,101. College can also affect unemployment rates. The BLS reported that those with high school diplomas experienced a 6% unemployment rate in 2014. The unemployment rate for those who held bachelor's degrees was only 3.5%.

Statistics also show that people who have attended college are much less likely to live in poverty. They are more likely to spend money in a way that benefits the economy and also volunteer to help with community issues and improve the areas where they live. When a person attends college, he or she may also become more confident in his or her abilities and skills and will have a broader range of career options. This, in turn, gives college graduate more freedom and control over their lives. George Landegger hopes to make it possible for more people to receive a higher education and complete college.

George Landegger - Helping The Less Fortunate In Other Countries

George Landegger has always cared about helping other people. He works hard to help people in his own country and in countries overseas. He has done many things to improve impoverished areas around the world. One of his five children, his daughter Justine, enjoys following in her father’s footsteps and also works to help the less fortunate in other countries. She has worked in some of the most difficult and dangerous areas of the world and is currently helping refugees in Pakistan. 

                                             

Mr. Landegger is proud of his daughter’s efforts and honored that she has chosen to follow after him. He recently opened a school in central Pakistan that is designed to help educate students in kindergarten through twelfth grade. He named the school after his daughter but was careful not to use her last name to help keep her safe due to the area where she works.

He has recently opened a home for unwed mothers in Bangalore that offers parenting classes and helps teach them a trade so they can better their own lives and the lives of their children. He also recently opened a home for rape victims nearby. He was the principal founder of a fully equipped health clinic in El Salvador that has served over 60,000 patients each year since it was built. 

George Landegger has many different philanthropy projects and while he is dedicated to helping people in other countries, he also works with the people in need in his own, especially in Alabama, where he lives. He hopes that by helping those in need, he can make the world a better place.
