At Moja Tu, we understand that university life comes with its own set of challenges—balancing academics, social pressures, financial independence, and personal growth. That’s why our mentorship program is dedicated to supporting students throughout their university journey. In 2024, we’ve seen this program grow in both reach and impact, with mentors offering invaluable guidance to help students navigate the complexities of their academic and personal lives.
The core of our mentorship program is the one-on-one relationship between students and mentors. These sessions go beyond academic advice; they offer a space for students to receive support on various issues, from time management and financial responsibility to making meaningful connections and managing stress. Mentorship gives students the tools they need to build a balanced and fulfilling university experience.
This year, our mentors have dedicated countless hours to helping students thrive. By offering their time, expertise, and encouragement, they have become essential pillars of support for students dealing with both the academic rigors of university and the personal challenges that come with it. Our mentors are always there to offer practical advice, lend a listening ear, and provide the encouragement needed so our students can stay focused on their goals.
For many of our students, mentorship has been life-changing. Amos, a first-year clinical medicine student, shared how the program has helped him adapt to university life. He says, “Mentorship has helped me adjust to university life and become more responsible with my money, time, and friendships. It’s the best tool I could have when facing challenges in school or life. I’m grateful to Monique for her guidance and support.”
Agnes, another first-year clinical medicine student, reflected on how mentorship has impacted her personal growth:
“Mentorship has given me clarity and practical tools for my personal life. I’ve learned how to manage my finances, build meaningful connections, and align my actions with my long-term goals. It’s been incredibly helpful.”
These testimonials showcase the true value of mentorship. It’s not only about academic success; it’s about empowering students to take charge of their lives, make informed decisions, and build a foundation for success in all aspects of their future. Our mentors play a pivotal role in helping students develop essential life skills that will benefit them long after graduation.
As we continue to expand the program, we look forward to seeing the ongoing positive impact on our students’ lives.
