We connect children with African mentors who guide them through life’s challenges, helping them grow both personally and professionally.
These structured weekly Saturday programs provide organized activities including arts and crafts, singing and dancing, sports, Bible study and a hot meal. But most importantly they aim to motivate and encourage kids, fostering positive thinking, and build their confidence for the future.
We bring in a wide array of talented professionals from Africa and other parts of the world, to share their skills and knowledge, helping the kids discover and cultivate their talents.
Child and youth mentoring is a supportive relationship between the adult and young person. The mentor is someone who shares guidance, knowledge, and wisdom with the child, helping them to develop life skills, nurture the power of imagination, and achieve their God-given potential. According to a study by DuBois et al. (2002) published in the Journal of Adolescent Health, mentoring programs have been associated with positive outcomes in academic performance, self-esteem and relationships.
