PROJECT
National Mentoring Day
The National Mentoring Day serves as a platform to help horn the importance of mentoring in personal and career development, business and entrepreneurship, growth and sustainability among others.
18
July
Taking place on the 18th of July each year, the day encourages events to take place throughout the country by individuals and organizations. This date is also chosen strategically to commemorate and celebrate the values and legacy of Nelson Mandela.
As a trans-generational leader, this day is celebrated across Africa and the world at large for his great leadership, sacrifice and impact on the lives of many people.
Mandela has become a symbol of what one can achieve with true dedication to a cause, and a moral authority whose name inevitably stands tall alongside other freedom fighters, including Mahatma, and Martin Luther King Jr.
The National mentoring day is a platform calling on businesses of all sizes to allow their employees to mentor, giving children positive role models, equipping startups, NGOs and social enterprises with requisite knowledge and expertise and offering employees a way to give back to society.
