We recognize what a challenge it is to reach this small yet significant percentage of the population and we are thankful for your partnership in this great task.
- That Argentina has over 1.5 million students attend institutions of higher education (roughtly half the population of college age students). With a network of 39 National Universities, which are tuition free! Private universities exist but due to their cost are often only available to the more affluent students, and they enroll about a sixth of the collegiate student body.

- From the time that students enroll in college and graduate they will make numerous decisions about life. Those choices will have a lasting impact on their lives and our society. The latest Barna study shows that 77% of all decisions made for Christ were made before the age of 21! We target univeristy students because it is the decision making time in their lives where their beliefs and perceptions of the world are being shaped.
- This is a highly strategic people group. Even though university students number only 1% of the world’s population from this group will come leaders for every facet of our society. From around the world the best and brightest attend universities for training and equipping to lead in tomorrow’s world.
