LAPO Development FoundationThe LAPO Development Foundation is a subsidiary of LAPO initiated in 1996 with the mandate to socially alleviate poverty particularly among rural dwellers and communities through non-credit activities; such as training and advocacy programmes.
LDF implements programmes geared towards enabling LAPO members and their communities understand the processes and structures that engender and sustain poverty, gender inequality and empower then to challenge and breakdown such processes and structures.
LDF seeks to create an environment where men and women live and contribute meaningfully to social progress without any form of discrimination. LDF attempts to do this by helping members and communities overcome factors beyond lack of funds, which tend to strengthen the severity of poverty. Issues like ignorance, illiteracy, low self-esteem, exclusion from decision-making processes and governance, environmental degradation and health related are focused upon.
