WHO ARE WE?
LEAP INITIATIVE born out of the pressing need to address poverty and inequality in Mathare slums, Nairobi. The rationale behind our organization stems from the recognition of the multifaceted challenges faced by marginalized communities, including limited access to education, economic opportunities and essential services. We aim to tackle these challenges head-on by empowering youths, women, orphans and vulnerable children through mentorship, empowerment and mental health programs.
Our primary solution
One of the primary problems we're addressing is the cycle of poverty perpetuated by systemic barriers and social injustices. Many individuals in Mathare lack the resources and support systems needed to break free from poverty's grip. By providing tailored programs and initiatives, we seek to equip community members with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to improve their livelihoods and create a brighter future for themselves and their families.

As a single mother living in Mathare slums, life was incredibly challenging. But with the support of LEAP Initiative, I received training in financial literacy and started a small business selling homemade crafts. Now, I can provide a better future for my children
