Our calling is to uplift others through service as leaders, facilitators, trainers, coaches, mentors and managers. Our work is to facilitate desired change, and create value (wealth) across Africa by mobilising the youths of Africa in particular to use their skills and energies to bring about sustainable development across Africa. We believe that Africa’s vast untapped natural and human resources can aid the continent’s greater contribution to world socioeconomic development. We also believe that the youths have a great role to play in Africa’s resurgence and future significance.

However, as simple knowledge and observations, as well as multiple pieces of evidence show, young Africans who constitute as much as 60 per cent of Africa’s population face a myriad of socioeconomic challenges, which would continue to make them lag behind youths elsewhere. The most critical of these challenges include poverty, poor mental and physical health, unfavourable educational outcomes, skills deficiency, and lack of access to basic needs.

Our token contribution to the possibilities and opportunities of youth development and empowerment for sustainable development in Africa is to create realistic platforms for increased access of the youths to specialised education adaptive action-learning. The practical education on offer, together with the exposure to the right training, coaching and mentoring opportunities are rare, but urgently needed opportunities. LEAP Foundation is committed to facilitating that possibility and providing the best opportunities through effective resource mobilisation and stakeholder management.
