Moding today’s generation for a better tomorrow
A message from the Founder and Director
I am Aletha Wallace - founder and director of Liberia Entrepreneur Educational Foundation (LEEF). I am originally from Liberia, West Africa. Professionally, I work as a Consultant within the Biotech / Pharma Industry. I serve as a member on the advisory board of the council on Sustainable Development Cooperation (GROS) of the municipality Hoeilaart. I am also a member of the board of Actieve Interculturele Federatie+ Belgium.
In 2018, I was nominated in Hoeilaart as an ambassador for the Sustainable Development Goal 4 - Quality Education. In 2019, I was also nominated and won the woman of the year price in Hoeilaart.
My passion is to be a changemaker working to bring about sustainable change. I want to build a bridge of mutual exchange with partners to mobilize and advocate for education and health thereby impacting young people lives and stimulating ownership. As a changemaker, I advocate for a just and sustainable world.
It is my delight to introduce LEEF to you. LEEF is a non-profit organization founded in 2016 and is aimed at creating equal opportunity for the underprivileged in Liberia. Our team consists of dedicated dreamers who believe that our efforts can make a huge difference. Our goal is to be a catalyst for more dreams to be realized and more lives to be improved. We are passionate about helping people toward a more empowered and satisfying life.
Our educational model inspires a spirit of entrepreneurship. With the help of skilled and inspirational staff, LEEF aim to deliver an educational package that includes academic as well as technical and vocational training. Besides, we offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities. We also support health initiatives; I am convinced that education and health are human rights and not favours.
Join us to make an impact and bring about positive transformation in our world.
Vision and Mission
The Liberia Entrepreneur Educational Foundation (LEEF) is a non-profit organization committed to driving socio-economic progress in Liberia. Our mission is to deliver sustainable, accessible, and high-quality education through a community-based, integrated approach that serves school-aged children and young adolescents from kindergarten through high school. Recognizing the challenges of low literacy and high unemployment, LEEF strategically empowers youth—particularly girls and young women—by creating pathways to entrepreneurship and employment through targeted educational opportunities.
LEEF’s entrepreneurship program is anchored in rigorous technical and vocational training, equipping young people with practical, market-driven skills essential for today’s workforce. Our curriculum is designed to provide hands-on experience and industry-aligned instruction, ensuring that participants are prepared for diverse career trajectories and entrepreneurial ventures.
Our educational model blends international best practices with the national curriculum and offers accelerated learning opportunities for disadvantaged youth. We foster a supportive, inclusive learning environment that builds resilience and nurtures personal growth. In addition to our core academic offerings, LEEF organizes book and educational drives to supply vital learning resources to schools, students, and educators.
LEEF’s initiatives are purposefully aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, including No Poverty, Good Health and Well-being, Quality Education, Gender Equality, Decent Work and Economic Growth, Reduced Inequalities, and Climate Action. Through strategic investment in education and youth empowerment, LEEF is cultivating a generation of entrepreneurs and leaders poised to contribute significantly to Liberia’s future development.
