Mentor Me - Faces Up

WHY IS IT NEEDED?

Currently, young people in Uganda do not have the tools they need to flourish. Most times, they are
not encouraged to think independently; to express themselves creatively; to work as a team, and to
pursue their own goals. And above all, often they lack a mentor as a supporting arm.

WHAT WE DO ABOUT IT.

We use mentorship through the creative arts to offer a safe space where young people can be themselves, a space where they feel supported and guided by experienced mentors. We also support schools to establish mentorship pools by tapping into their old student’s associations. Our hope is that through this, schools can tap into the vast knowledge and experience of their former students to support their current students.
