Our Story
Born out of the personal experience (finding identity), Loving and Leading Others (L&LO) saw the need to restore identity and inspire opportunities for women, especially women who are living under the shadow of death - HIV+. By using biblical and leadership principles, we focus on loving others and teaching social identity: given, chosen, and core values. When people know they are unconditionally loved and significant, that is the beginning of authentic transformation – self-image changes, character develops, compassion for others emerges, and opportunity arises.
Established in 2017, Fresno, CA. L&LO is a grassroots, 5O1(c)3 faith-based non-profit, currently working in Addis Ababa and throughout Ethiopia, East Africa
