Raising Generations of Selfless and Proactive Leaders for Mother Ghana- The BAILEF project in focus
Clearly, leadership is an issue that affects all of us. Not only are we impacted by it, but also, we are all called upon to exercise it.

Whether we are called upon to be involved in leading government or business, leading in Church or Mosque, guiding young minds, leading a family, standing for what is right, or organizing a get-together, or a household, everyone has a leadership role to play.
We are each thrust into many different leadership roles again and again, throughout our lives.
We are each called upon to be custodians of what is right and good, lasting and of value, for those in our care. In our quest to develop as a nation, Ghana must consciously invest in training the youth to become effective and proactive leaders.
Baidoo Leadership Foundation (BAILEF) is set out to consolidate the efforts of like-minded institutions in fulfilling the noble need of making the world a better place by raising selfless and proactive leaders.
BAILEF has a vision to inspire this generation and beyond to aspire proactive leadership in the spirit of integrity, honesty, love and service.
Our mission is to equip the youth with leadership skills, to consciously impact the youth with good leadership tenets like integrity, service, honesty, love and service, mentor the youth in line with leadership and offer career counseling services for the youth.
The target of the Leadership Training has been the youth. Senior High School students have been beneficiaries of this trainings and Leadership Summits. Since January 2015 BAILEF has embarked on a project dubbed LEADERSHIP SENSE PROJECT-LSP.
