Lapid Leaders Africa

Lapid Leaders Africa (LLA) is a non-profit organisation whose vision is to build a community of value-driven young leaders, dedicated to being solution-providers and change-makers across the African continent. We deliver a distinguished experience that provides world-class leadership, innovation, and entrepreneurship education to Africa’s young outstanding talent. At Lapid Leaders Africa, we believe in Africa, and in the potential of its young people. We believe that in the same way that Africa is replete with gold, diamonds and all sorts of precious stones, it is rich in young men and women ready to stand up, be counted, and make a difference – young men and women ready to be shaped into the gems this continent needs. So far we have developed 618 young leaders and are well on target to develop over 1000 young leaders by the end of 2021. 74% of our young leader go on to find employment or start new business within 6 months of completion of the program. 60% of our participants are young women who are becoming builders of solutions. We are a Pan-African Network of young leaders and have 6 African countries represented in the Lapid Leaders Alumni and our alumni are building solutions in 5 African countries.
