Social responsibility

 

Shockingly Different Leadership is excited to be supporting the following charities:

The African Library Project: (http://africanlibraryproject.org)

Education is one of the keys to building more self-sustainable communities in areas in need. However, in rural communities across the globe, where access to the internet is limited at best, physical books are the window to what is possible and are an agent of change.

The African Library Project collects and recycles high quality books into small sustainable libraries in rural Africa, where books are in short supply.

By partnering with fellow passionate global collaborators, Shockingly Different Leadership joins The African Library Project in celebrating 10 years of building over 1750 libraries in countries like Ghana, Sierra Leone, Lesotho, Malawi, South Africa, Botswana and Swaziland!

How you can help: Incorporated into many of our programs, is a social leadership component, where our participants are given a real-life challenge to help a featured charity, like The African Library Project.

By being a client, you are automatically supporting others in need. You can also make a donation to support our most worthy causes.
