EDULEAP
EduLeap
is breaking the cycle of poverty through microfinance
loans to sustainable Christian schools in Africa.
In addition to providing capital to these schools,
EduLeap also serves in an advisory role, gathering
educational best practices and disseminating
them to schools through teacher training. While
maintaining a strong focus on traditional subjects,
EduLeap encourages the teaching of entrepreneurship,
technology and the Christian values of honesty,
caring for others and diligent work. Due to
a lack of jobs in developing countries, EduLeap
trains students to be job creators rather than
job seekers upon graduation.
EduLeap partners with existing
microfinance institutions on the ground in developing
countries to disburse and collect its funds.
