Welcome to our community where we cultivate young and emerging leaders

who are sparking social change through innovation, advocacy, and community-building.

Join Lapid Leaders Africa on this transformative journey to shape a future where young men and women are empowered to shape the Africa of the future.

At Lapid Leaders Africa, I’m proud of how we’ve created a leadership curriculum rooted in our own indigenous knowledge. Unlike many programs that follow a Western model, our approach is uniquely ours, and it’s making a real difference. We see it in the character, critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and community commitment of our young leaders who are now making an impact not just locally but around the world.”

Our Approach

Holistic Support

We provide comprehensive training, mentorship, and networks to help leaders drive impactful change. Our unique approach includes working with women elders to integrate governance wisdom and advocacy for social justice.

University Partnerships

We collaborate with top institutions like Mount Kenya University and The University of Nairobi to identify and develop emerging leaders. Our tailored curriculum and mentorship programs equip students with the skills to innovate and lead.

Expanding Horizons:

Through strategic alliances, including partnerships with platforms like LinkedIn, National Bank of Kenya and others, we reach youth in Kenya and across Africa. Our reach is supported by impactful partnerships, grants and a strong social media presence.

“Our business began because of Lapid...some of our first sales happened through Lapid as they gave us an opportunity to do a business plan and we now understand metrics, KPIs, customer definition and this has been key to our growth.”

“The program played a big role in how I view myself and the world. I realized just how important self-awareness is, what it means to have integrity, and the importance of being child-like and not childish.”
