Our Leadership academies are the foundation of our LEAD program

Our Leadership Academy is recognized as one of the top A-Level education programs in East Africa. Each year, we select 60 secondary school graduates (30 men and 30 women) based on academic achievement and leadership potential. Over two years, these young leaders receive a world-class college-preparatory education alongside leadership development, business skills, and Christ-centered discipleship training and mentorship.
