OUR VISION
LEAD Academy was founded in 2006 in response to the large number of AIDS orphans in our care that required methods to improve skills or reverse damage caused by AIDS. Most orphans at LEAD Academy are between two and five years behind in school, as they have been caregivers for their parents as they have been dying. They also have been working in the farms near us to provide for their families. Many of our children fail repeatedly in public school, and LEAD Academy was formed to address learning problems.
The Academy is located about 100 Km from Harare and is on a farm that is over 500 acre.

Statistics released by the Geneva, Switzerland-based organization WHO on Tuesday January 13, 2009 show 1,937 people have died in the raging epidemic from the 38,334 who contracted the disease since its outbreak in August.
Cholera has spread to neighboring countries South Africa and Botswana.
The epidemic comes at a time when President Robert Mugabe's government is facing its worst economic crisis, manifested in shortages of all essentials from food, fuel, cash, foreign currency and electricity and a hyperinflationary economy.
Health experts have said Harare's failure to import adequate stocks of water-treating chemicals is the main driver of the disease. Most residents have resorted to rivers and shallow wells for drinking water, because taps are usually dry.
On top of that problem, the waste-disposing system has collapsed. Children can be seen playing on heaps of uncollected garbage in the suburbs of most urban areas in Zimbabwe.
Last month, Mugabe's government declared the choleraepidemic a national emergency. Zimbabwean Health Minister David Parirenyatwa warned this month (JANUARY 2009) that the epidemic could get worse as the rainy season develops.
Harare issued a warning Monday that some parts of the country are going to experience floods during rainy season, further compounding the fight against the disease.
The season peaks in January or February and ends in late March.
