Our Mentorship Program runs through our DMF’s Financial Empowerment Mentorship Program (FINEMPRO), Hubs and Accelerator Programs, Intergenerational Mentorship Programs and Clubs. The main objectives being mentoring youth, women, girls and other targeted beneficiaries to start social ventures, create jobs, secure funding for projects, encourage job creation and entrepreneurship.

This is done through a 3 months intensive Mentorship program that provides selected Mentees with skills, knowledge and access to critical tools to become impact-oriented changemakers and business and social enterprise creators. The Mentorship program is also aimed at connecting DMF Mentees to available opportunities both nationally and internationally.

The Mentorship program includes:

1. Training: 3 months of online and in-person (where feasible) training which guides creating and managing a business
2. Mentoring: A world-class mentor to guide during the business transformation stages
3. Funding: Training of Mentees on grants writing and lessons on how to secure seed capital to prove their concepts and how to secure further funding for their concepts and ventures.
4. Network: Gain access to large networks of African start-ups and DMF’s global contacts
