USPG has been working for over 300 years with Anglican churches worldwide, supporting their work in healthcare, education and theological training. As an Anglican mission agency, we do this alongside churches and communities around the world, providing the resources - people, money and ideas - that they define as necessary to meet local needs. Their work involves pastoral care, social action and supporting training programmes.

In many countries, they have worked with the Anglican church and set up projects to support the impoverished and marginalised. This work has included:
• Health care, through funding hospitals, HIV/AIDS awareness programmes and training for medical personnel.
• Education, through funding new schools and sending teachers to wherever there is a need.
• Church ministry: through funding theological training and pastoral programmes.
• Cross-cultural training – because we believe that each part of the church can learn from every other part.
• Inter-faith relations, including work in many of the world's trouble spots.

They also encourage parishes in Britain and Ireland to participate in mission through fundraising and prayer, and by setting up links with our projects around the world. You can support specific areas of USPG's work through the Projects Scheme.

Missionary Companion Programme
This programme supports people who feel called to take the risk of walking, working and serving alongside Christians in the world church. USPG helps prospective missionaries discern their vocation and matches people to suitable placements. St. James's Missionary Companion in Tanzania is Angela Mullens. She sends news to us regularly - see below.
