ABOUT LEAPINGSTONE What we do  Build and upgrade school buildings. Supply books and other necessary learning supplies. Promote entrepreneurial projects which use local skills and resources in the service of sustaining educational facilities. Refine aid models in cooperation with local communities to mitigate risk and encourage community support and investment in sustainable education. Invest in community based programs one village at a time to: reduce risk; ensure rigorous accountability; migrate program improvements “downstream”.

We will then expand into wider Togo, before eventually branching out to other West African communities. Our aid model LeapingStone is committed to making a lasting difference in the educational needs of children in West Africa. To that end, we are introducing a model of aid that we believe will provide a legacy of self-supporting education in perpetuity. Continue reading. YOU CAN HELP Every donation counts!
