Mentors meet with mentees at least 4 times throughout the year (exact dates on application) for 1:1 sessions. The average commitment ranges from 5-25 hours.

Who

Professional women from any sector who have experience in community service, mentorship, human rights, and/or women empowerment.

Where

If the date turns out to not work for you and the student, please adjust accordingly.

Meet Nimrod, a 17-year-old Form 3 student at Kanga Meet Nimrod, a 17-year-old Form 3 student at Kanga High School from Nairobi County. He has a passion for Chemistry and dreams of pursuing Medicine and Surgery at the university level. Before joining The Pangea Network, Nimrod faced uncertainty about whether he would be able to finish high school. Financial hardship and limited resources at home made continuing his education feel out of reach. Today, that uncertainty has been replaced with confidence. Through the Pangea Network Student Sponsorship Program, Nimrod now has the support he needs to stay in school and plan for life beyond graduation. Since joining Pangea, Nimrod has gained valuable life skills like time management and goal setting through the Annual Boys Retreat. He has also strengthened his study habits by working closely with his teachers and dedicating more time to challenging subjects. Nimrod is most proud of improving his attitude toward subjects he once struggled with and setting meaningful goals for his final year. Self-driven and focused, he is building a future that once felt uncertain. 👏 Join us in celebrating Nimrod and the bright path ahead.
Education is the foundation of opportunity and pro Education is the foundation of opportunity and progress. It opens doors, expands choices, and transforms futures. Through Pangea’s empowerment and education programs, we invest in women and youth by providing practical skills and financial knowledge that create confidence, opportunity, and generational stability... because education is empowerment.
