  • Teams are supervising disbursements, gathering feedback, and engaging district authorities and community leaders.
  • Educational sessions on social protection, child welfare, and appropriate use of LEAP funds are also being conducted.
  • LEAP provides bi-monthly cash support to older persons without support, persons with severe disabilities, and orphaned and vulnerable children to improve their well-being and promote social inclusion.

Why This Matters
