Lead-Up International is a registered 501c3 non-profit organisation whose aims are to prevent and reduce youth violence with a particular focus on interpersonal violence. We address violence reduction and prevention through positive youth development, focusing on strengthening socio-emotional skills and the mental health and well-being of youth to reduce individual risk factors such as mental health problems, low emotional intelligence, unemployment, and exposure to violence.

At Lead-Up International, our mission is to bridge divides and break cycles of violence and poverty through programs that foster, through interactions with horses, the peaceful leadership and empowerment of youth in order to drive social transformation. 

As a small charity we are totally reliant on grants and donations to create these positive changes in the communities we work in, we are grateful for any donation you could make towards our work with young people around the world!
