Complex development challenges can’t be solved in silos.

Egyptian social innovators hold the key to many of the country’s solutions but need to have greater collective impact. LEEP helps leapfrog solutions by creating visibility, accessibility, and connectivity within the Egyptian social innovation ecosystem and across our global network.

 

We, as a community, are our own greatest resource.

By building community, we move toward a model of shared resources and knowledge exchange and beyond 1:1 technical assistance. In other words, we shift towards a model where the community sees itself as its #1 resource.
