Leap Hubs

Leap Hubs is a Leadership and Entrepreneurship program piloted in Kenya by the Global Peace Foundation since 2015. The initiative provides guidance and spaces for highly motivated students in Secondary, Technical, and Vocational Entrepreneurship Training Centers, Universities, and Colleges to explore and solve a pressing real-world problem with innovative ideas and learn what it takes to start and grow a business or set up a socia I enterprise.
