Mission Statement

Lead Exposure Elimination Project (LEEP) drives effective policies to eliminate lead poisoning across the globe. Its current focus is on ending the sale and manufacture of lead paint worldwide.

About This Cause

LEEP’s mission is to eliminate childhood lead poisoning and improve the health, wellbeing, and potential of children worldwide. Its paint programmes aim to end the market availability of lead paint with a five-step approach: 1. Stakeholder engagement: Develop an understanding of the local context and begin collaborative conversations with government and industry stakeholders. 2. Conduct paint study: Determine whether lead-based paints are available on the market. 3. Government outreach: Share its research with relevant government ministries and seek commitments for new regulation or enforcement of existing regulation. 4. Industry outreach: Provide technical assistance to manufacturers to enable them to switch to lead-free paint. 5. Conduct followup paint study: After regulations are newly implemented or enforced, carry out another study to ensure that lead-based paints have successfully been replaced.
