Leadership Initiatives (LI) approaches the problems of underdevelopment by empowering communities to address their own needs.
Leadership Initiatives (LI) renews democracies on a grassroots level by cultivating self-reliant leadership. We help individuals and communities forge the connections necessary to solve local problems using existing community resources. In the process, we train a new generation of innovative, resourceful leaders poised to catapult their neighborhoods, regions, and nations forward.
Our students create novel solutions firmly grounded in principles of social entrepreneurship, creating 5 businesses in; fish farming, welding, tailoring, motorcycle repair & computer education with job placement.
Develop independent profit-generating businesses that serve as models for growth in surrounding communities. Project beneficiaries fill voids in the local economy while improving their families' health, education and financial stability.
Join our cause so we may continue to provide opportunities for persons blocked by economic, political or racial barriers to improve their lives. It is a human investment that will benefit us all.
