The foundation endorsed 17 matriculants in their mentorship programme during 2022 and 2023. The aim was to congratulate the learners who passed and to encourage those who did not make it, to try again. The organisation said it is committed to support and nourish each learner on their educational journey. The mentorship programme’s goal is to rebuild society through education, to help accelerate the personal and professional development of the mentees by inspiring, empowering and educating them to achieve their full potential to become leaders.
