Leadership For Africa
Leadership For Africa (LFA) is a registered non-profit organization in Swaziland, southern Africa, and a 501 (c) (3) in Anchorage, Alaska where it was established in 1994. It is a grassroots effort run by LFA Field Directors, Robin and Michael Pratt. Because of its impact on every aspect of life in Africa, they have been drawn into the fight against HIV/AIDS, finding motivation and strength to do so in the love Jesus Christ has for all humankind.
Mission:
- To rescue orphaned and abandoned children from a life of almost certain malnutrition, abuse/exploitation and, illiteracy by creating a safe, healthy environment for them to live.
- To partner with traditional networks that protect, nurture and provide for orphaned and abandoned children.
- To develop income generating programs and provide emergency food assistance for widows and impoverished women.
- To develop a team that will intervene and break the vicious cycle of HIV infection.
In 2003, LFA purchased two identical houses on over 1.5 acres of land and established the Sandra Lee Center; a home for orphans and abandoned babies. In 2005, another 2.5 acres of land adjoining this property was purchased for development of more homes.
In February 2005 LFA opened the Emkhuzweni Youth Zone/Community Partnership Center in northern Swaziland which has been established as a community-level response to the orphan and poverty crisis caused by HIV/AIDS.
LFA assists Women Who Care, a small group of women who are dedicated to caring for the smallest victims of the HIV/AIDS crisis at Mbabane Government Hospital.
Leadership for Africa relies heavily on contributions. In order to keep the programs running we need donor support.
