Power of EFAC's Mentorship Program

EFAC Alumnus Collins Owino describes the importance of developing meaningful mentorship relationships and building your networks:

"Mentoring is a critical element in professional development. From my family background, I did not have the connections that would lead me to my desired future. My opportunity came through EFAC. I learned to take advantage of the social capital that my mentors provided for me. I always set goals for each mentorship session and kept communication flowing with my mentors.

EFAC, through its empowerment, I developed my courage and resilience. The communication, self-presentation, and networking skills I learnt through the program continue to propel me as a leader. I am now an established IT Expert at NOVA Academies and have become the change that has transformed my family. My siblings now have an opportunity to connect to my social capital."
