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,
Facebook, LinkedIn & Twitter). Enjoy the read and click the hyperlinks to get more information!
God bless you!
