Educational Program

Canadian Leadership Assistance 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.

Shekinah HIGH SCHOOL

Canadian Leadership Assistance Program received a donation of two plots of land (7+ acres) in order to house a high school and training center. Our current project is the establishment of Shekinah High School which will include classrooms and dormitories for high school students; teacher’s quarters, kitchen accommodations, and so on. Once completed, we will begin development of a trades training center (sewing, carpentry, technology). By providing the opportunity for further education and skills training, we hope to give the youth the ability to sustain a better quality of life for both their families and their villages.

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.

Our Team

Our team consists of a board in Canada that is dedicated to fundraising for the initiatives of CLAP as well as a team on the ground in Bangladesh. The team on the ground is dedicated to serving the community and seeing the vision and mission of CLAP lived out among the Chittagong Hill Tracts.

Get Involved

Your monthly support helps us provide food, basic needs, and education for the children, as well as equipment needed to sustain a growing program.

Currently we support a number of orphans and children. There are many more villages and families awaiting the opportunity to join CLAP and this is solely dependent on space and funding.
