The Lead Exposure Elimination Project (LEEP) is an impactful nonprofit dedicated to eliminating lead poisoning on a global scale. LEEP advocates for the regulation of lead paint, working towards effective policies that will eradicate lead poisoning in children worldwide. Lead exposure is a significant issue, with approximately one in three children having dangerous levels of lead in their bloodstream.

This exposure can have irreversible effects on cognitive development, leading to cardiovascular disease, anemia, and kidney damage. A primary cause of lead exposure is unregulated lead paint, which is prevalent in 55% of countries globally. LEEP conducts paint studies to gather country-specific data, supports governments in implementing lead paint regulations, and provides technical assistance to help paint manufacturers transition to lead-free alternatives.

By joining forces with the Global Alliance to Eliminate Lead Paint and receiving support from various organizations, LEEP strives to eliminate childhood lead poisoning and improve children's health and potential worldwide. Donate today to contribute to this important mission
