Our Calgary based not for profit organization has worked with families and children with delays or disabilities since 2002. Our teams of professionals provide high quality, research-based programs for children and their families. Lead Foundation's teams work with a range of children from those with mild speech, motor, or behavior delays to children with more complex challenges, including Autism Spectrum Disorder. Our mandate is to help children and their families practice and learn new skills within their home, preschool, and community. One of our programs focuses on supports for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and their families. These children can experience significant difficulties with communication, motor challenges, and social skills. Their combined challenges often interfere with their participation in family activities and community based group programs.

According to the World Health Organization, Haiti is the most water-impoverished country on the face of the Earth. They have water, it is just not safe to drink it! They are also the most economically impoverished country in the western hemisphere. They are our neighbours! We are working in Haiti through Clean Water for Haiti Foundation. We are employing Haitians to build and install bio-sand water filters for Haitians in their homes. These filters are very durable and extremely effective in filtering out all biological pathogens, producing safe, clean water from even the most contaminated sources. One bio-sand filter can produce enough clean water everyday to supply the needs of even large families. In Haiti, families can commonly be 8-12 people, sometimes more, and most of them are children. And children are always the ones most affected by water-borne illnesses. Water-borne illness is the second largest cause of death in Haiti and the #1 cause of death in children.

Our Values: 1. RESPECT for the dignity and goodness of each person as a unique creation. This organization will demonstrate flexibility in its dealings with those we serve. 2. RESPECT for the capacity of each of us to embrace the challenge of human existence. We encourage those we serve to take responsibility for their own lives; we try to empower by assisting them to make informed choices for themselves. 3. A FIRM CONVICTION that out of poverty comes creativity, new life and growth. We reach out, recognizing that the poor are not in need of 'fixing', 'saving' or 'rescuing'. Growth comes from journeying with those we serve, not in doing for them. 4. The importance of EDUCATION as the key to change. Education takes many forms. Those who are malnourished most of their lives often have special needs; secondary school, university, apprenticeships, as well as special education for severe learning disabilities such as deafness and blindness are all strategies we pursue.
