Our Programs
The main initiative of CLAP is to come alongside willing participants in programs that will lead to a sustainable future; providing training and education in order to generate funds for their families, villages, and the CLAP programs.
Educational Program
Canadian Leadership Assisance Program (CLAP) is set-up to provide the basic life needs for orphans, half-orphans, and impoverished children through education, skills training, food, and basic necessities of life. We are giving these children equal opportunity to achieve health and happiness in life and the ability to dream for a better future.
HIGH SCHOOL
Canadian Leadership Assistance Program received notice in 2018, that a private donor provided funds for the purchase of 5 acres of land in order to house a high school and training centre. Once complete, the facilities will include classrooms and dormitories for high school students; kitchen accommodations; a trades training center (sewing, carpentry, agriculture); an admin office, as well guest quarters for visitors. By providing the opportunity for further education and skills training, we hope to give the youth the ability to sustain a quality of life for both their families and their villages.

january 2019
We’ve decided to work within the Hill Tracts because we’ve seen a need there. There are a lot of resources in this world. So if CLAP can be a gateway to those resources we can, in turn, help people who don’t have access to these resources to hopefully provide them with a better quality of life.
