about LEAD International

LEAD International is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization that is dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty by employing entrepreneurial business principles in a revolutionary way. LEAD provides technical training, proven principles of reliable relationship development, long-term hand in hand mentorship, and various forms of capitalization. Our goal is to create holistic community development that impacts public health, spiritual development, leadership creation, and empowers people to be the sustainable answer to their own need. LEAD helps various forms of leadership from national and local governmental groups, to local churches and community groups of all faiths, to make decisions that help people at the grass roots level. Our work is a work of faith, collaboration, and mutual accountability.

Our information pages are here to inform and tell the story of how ordinary people can impact the world. If you have questions about any of our work that is not answered, please contact us.

Dr. Brandao Gomes Co and four members of his household had been infected by a rabid dog. No medicine could be found in country to provide a cure. He explained that if it were available he could never afford it. He had resigned to an inescapable death. In God’s providence one member of a LEAD mission team scheduled to arrive a week late was able to bring the medicine that saved Dr. Brandao and his family. He went on to become the Minister of Public Health during one of the most important periods in Guinean History. He also later attended Johns Hopkins University, and today works abroad in Africa in the field of public health.
