Our Story

Born from a burden for the youth

Mentorship and Beyond (M&B) is a non-profit ecosystem premised on God's principles of Dominion. It was founded in 2015, and its first cohort met in January 2016 to give youths aged 18 to 30 a forum to mature their lives in a wholesome, holistic way.

Through interactions with young people, the vision bearers found that dysfunctional family settings leave many youths unconsciously looking for a family to fit in, leading to wrong associations, wrong decisions and internal wrangles around failure.

The foundation was registered in August 2019. Its anchor verse is Proverbs 20:5: "The purposes of a person's heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out." Mentors are volunteers who have built ventures of their own, and the house motto is simple: a natural place of happy people on a quest to become.

Between 2016 and 2021 graduates launched ventures that employ their peers, with entrepreneurship training run in partnership with the Wadhwani Foundation, in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Our Approach

Three streams, one transformation

A graduated, voluntary process whose end product is an all-rounded mentee: self-aware, God-aware, and owning a venture that earns revenue and solves a real problem.

Self Discovery

The F-CREATE journey: identity first, then choices, reality, exposure, action, self-leadership and excellence.

Entrepreneurship Training

Graduates move on to venture tracks in agribusiness, manufacturing and innovation, with clear milestones.

Spiritual Maturity

A Christ-centred foundation, open to all, so that character keeps pace with success.

Mentee, then Graduate, then Partner: a mentee becomes a partner once their venture breaks even and they start walking with the next generation.

Who Leads

Mentors who have built what they teach

Every mentor at M&B is a volunteer who has built a venture or a career of their own. The founders still teach the classes.
