Cultivating Character and Confidence: The Essential Role of Mentorship at Lift the Children

15 October 2024

At Lift the Children, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive. Mentorship is a key component of our efforts to support the personal and spiritual development of youth and children in our care. We are proud to collaborate with dedicated mentors like Diana MG Achieng, whose work in the “Road to Mentorship” program has brought significant value to the lives of many young individuals.

The Role of Mentorship in Youth Development

Mentorship is more than just guidance—it’s about creating a supportive environment where young people can develop a sense of self-awareness, confidence, and resilience. Through the “Road to Mentorship” program, we aim to provide youth and children with the tools they need to navigate their personal, professional, emotional, and spiritual journeys.

Key Benefits of Mentorship:

  • Building Self-Awareness: Mentorship helps young people understand themselves better and build self-confidence.
  • Encouraging Goal Setting and Career Development: Mentors provide valuable guidance on setting personal goals and planning career paths.
  • Serving as Role Models: Mentors like Diana offer a positive example for youth to follow, fostering personal and professional growth.

 

A Partnership with Purpose

Our collaboration with Diana MG Achieng brings a unique, approach to mentorship. By integrating life principles and values into the program, we aim to empower youth and children to overcome life’s challenges and lead meaningful, impactful lives.

Core Values Taught:

  • Love and Obedience
  • Integrity and Honesty
  • Compassion and Servitude
  • Hope and Perseverance
  • Forgiveness and Healing

These values provide a strong foundation for the youth and children we serve, helping them build character and resilience.

Impact Across Our Homes

 

Since the program’s inception, Diana and other mentors have reached over 200 youth and children in seven of our supported homes:

  • Havillah Children Home
  • Smile Community Center
  • Meta Meta Children’s Home
  • Mum’s Love
  • Serah’s Vision Children Home
  • Utugi Angels Community
  • Alpha Joy Children’s Home

The mentorship program has led to remarkable transformations. Our youth are becoming more self-aware, understanding their emotions and behaviors, and developing essential life skills. They have also learned to embrace life teachings, fostering a sense of purpose and direction.

We are committed to continuing our support for youth and children through impactful programs like the “Road to Mentorship.” We believe that by working together, we can create a stronger, more connected community, where every young person has the opportunity to flourish.
