Mentorship
Mentorship is a method of advancement which provides support and training through relationship building. It is about matching a mentee and mentor with similar personal and professional interest in a process of support, sharing and learning to help entrepreneurs and businesswomen, who want to start up or successfully run a business or achieve success in their existing career, to reach their full potential.

“Katuka provided me with motivation, guidance and a much needed support structure. They believed in me when no one else did. (I myself didn’t know that I had what it took to complete the mentorship). Today I confidence in Public speaking, I have clearly set out goals and a vision and with support from my mentors I am well on my way to enter the next Business Woman of the Year awards and to return to the Katuka Mentorship Programme as a mentor and hopefully inspire other young women to make a positive difference in their lives.” Anna
