Our Impact Stories
Introduction
Impact is the name of the game at the Central Leadership Program! All of our fellows are expected to undertake Social Impact Projects as part of their training. These projects are based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals and are meant to make a direct impact on the lives of the people in the community. The Social Impact Project Groups are mentored by SIP Project mentors who are development professionals who volunteer for the Central Leadership Program. The catalogue of stories below is from 2022. We have many more stories of impact to share on our website, YouTube and on social media (Instagram,

"CLP has always challenged me to be a change and stand for a change for Africa. This has given me so much hope that I can also contribute to the development of Africa in my little way. With this in mind I encouraged the Youth of Peniel Temple to also seek to stand out to become a change pattern for Ghana and Africa. I also encouraged them to arise and contribute to the development of Africa with the seed of God in them. And I believe very well that they will also discover what they have and use it to contribute to become patterns of change for the Rising of the African continent."
