Le Pont – A Bridge to Africa

What We Do

Our Mission

Sponsor a Village School

We believe that every child is made in the image of God and that loving, nurturing, and equipping them is a sacred calling. Each child is unique and full of boundless potential—and every one deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and dream. Through our Village School Sponsorship Program, your support helps transform entire communities by meeting the most urgent educational and physical needs of children in villages where we’ve installed Living Water Wells. We currently partner with over 26 village schools and 9 private Christian schools —and with your help, that number continues to grow.

$30/month or $360/year helps sponsor a village school and its children

Your monthly gift plays a vital role in supporting an entire school community—especially children in greatest need. While this amount does not cover the full cost of operating the school, it allows us to provide essential support in partnership with others who are also investing in these villages. Together, your contributions help provide:
  • School supplies and uniforms for every student
  • Nutritious meals for children who may otherwise go without
  • Teacher support—including training, resources, and salaries where needed
  • Improvements to classrooms and school buildings
  • Case-by-case medical assistance for students when needed
Your sponsorship becomes part of a larger effort to ensure that every child in the village has the opportunity to thrive—physically, spiritually, and academically.

Why Village Sponsorship?

After installing clean water wells in these communities, we noticed something incredible—school attendance doubled. Children were no longer missing class due to waterborne illness, and girls who once spent hours fetching water are now in school, learning and thriving. This is about more than just education. It’s about restoring time, health, dignity, and hope to entire communities—starting with the next generation.

Prisca Peace Project

At Le Pont International, we are empowering women to transform their lives and communities through the Prisca Peace Project. Currently, 100 hardworking women have applied for and qualified to receive microloans to grow their businesses. These women include seamstresses, cosmetologists, shop owners selling groceries, spices, produce, and other goods.

The program is structured with an 8-month repayment period, and we are proud to share that we’ve achieved a remarkable 100% repayment rate. Over the course of three loan cycles, we have seen incredible success:

For the original 25 women who repaid their loans on time, we were able to triple their loan amounts, enabling even greater growth for their businesses.
In the second round, we doubled the loan amounts for another 25 women.
We have since expanded the program to include 50 women from the villages where our Living Water Wells have been established.
These women are dedicated and hardworking, and their determination inspires us daily. Madame Awouse oversees the Prisca Peace Project, providing essential training in accounting, marketing, and business development to ensure each participant has the tools they need for long-term success.

Through your support, the Prisca Peace Project is creating sustainable change—one woman, one family, and one community at a time.

Imagine if you can…

Your elementary-age daughter walking hours daily to fetch water instead of being in school. She gets up every morning to the same desperate routine. Her hope is on hold. In Africa, girls under the age of 15 are twice as likely as boys to be responsible for getting water for the family. To pursue a hopeful future, she and her family need water…every day.

Our Living Water Wells project bring together the three goals of LPI: children are educated, churches are equipped, and communities are empowered.

$15,000 puts a Living Water Wells in a village, providing clean water, vegetable gardening, fish and poultry production, jobs for a community, and a strategic center for community development​.

Equip The Church

Our passion at LPI is to fulfill the great commission of Jesus to make disciples of all nations. We do this by training community transformers. These community leaders oversee and maintain the wells as a base for community outreach. The church thus becomes a strategic center of community development.

$2,250 purchases a motorcycle for a pastor-missionary to reach remote areas with the gospel.
