Compelled by the gospel of Jesus Christ, we walk alongside the students and vulnerable children of Liberia to develop leaders, expand education, and strengthen essential infrastructure.
The Leadership & Education for Africa Project (LEAP) partners with men and women of character to restore Liberia through education, health, agriculture, and business development. Founded in 2009, LEAP (originally Light Stream Solution Outreach Ministries) was formally established under the leadership of Steven Wright, Leap’s first President. LEAP focuses on empowering underprivileged children, including Ebola orphans, at Light Stream Academy, while nurturing community leaders who drive lasting change.

My name is Maxon Tarr, a 17-year-old LEAP scholar in 12th grade at Light Stream Academy. I joined in 2014 after losing my father to Ebola and being raised by a single mother. Since then, LEAP has lifted a heavy burden, covering my education, meals, and school needs in a supportive, high-quality learning environment. If you’re looking to invest in Africa, I highly recommend the Leadership and Education for Africa Project (LEAP). Thank you.
Hello, my name is Janet Mokoe. I am 21, a 12th-grade LEAP scholar at Light Stream Academy/Don Dejno High School. I lost both parents to Ebola in 2014 and received the LEAP scholarship at age 14 through Pastor David Fatorma’s care. Because of LEAP, I no longer worry about school fees, food, or basic needs. I am deeply grateful to Pastor Fatorma and all LEAP supporters—your support made this possible. If you want to invest in children in need, LEAP is the right place. Thank you.

Hi everyone, I’m Nicholas Peal, 17, a graduate of Light Stream Academy/Don Denjo High School. Raised by a single unemployed mother after losing my father, I wouldn’t have finished high school without LEAP. This program changed my life. Today, I am a proud high school graduate! I thank God Almighty for those who support LEAP in reaching kids in dire need in Africa. deeply grateful to everyone who supports LEAP, please continue helping students in need, and consider extending that support into college.

My name is Tracy D. Duo, an 11th-grade student at Light Stream Academy/Don Denjo High School. I joined the LEAP scholarship program in 2022 after losing my father and being raised by a single mother with limited income. LEAP became a source of hope—covering my school fees, providing learning materials, and supporting my daily needs through stipends. I’ve also received spiritual guidance from Pastor David Fatorma. I want to thank God for LEAP sponsors and donors, and I kindly ask all generous givers, supporters, and partners to continue supporting the LEAP scholarship program so more less-fortunate children, especially those from low-income single-parent homes, can have the opportunity to pursue their education and reach their goals in life. Thank you!
