Your impact

Where your donation goes.

The mentorship platform

Our virtual platform is where every mentor-mentee relationship is matched, managed and tracked. Your gift keeps it running.

Outreach and awareness

Digital outreach that helps more South Africans discover and access mentorship opportunities.

Running the programmes

The day-to-day coordination, support and delivery of mentorship programmes nationwide.

Reaching further

Sustainability and expansion, so we can reach more communities, entrepreneurs and young people.

Why we need your support

Driven by impact, not profit.

As a non-profit, our programmes are delivered at highly subsidised rates. The work is sustained through a combination of partnerships, programme fees and donations. Every contribution strengthens the ecosystem of mentorship in South Africa - connecting experience with potential.

We work through two models

The general programme

We recruit, onboard and support volunteer mentors who give their time to individuals seeking mentorship across South Africa.

Organisational programmes

We partner with organisations whose beneficiaries could gain from mentorship, and design and run tailored programmes for them.
