At HERA Foundation Kenya, we believe that any young person can achieve their full academic potential with the right support and guidance.   We place a special emphasis on supporting young people from disadvantaged backgrounds who have average academic performance i.e. a mean grade of C.  Applicants to our scholarship program are required to complete our application form to be considered.  Once admitted, the beneficiaries should maintain a mean grade of at least a C throughout their scholarship with the Foundation.  Failure to do so could lead to remedial action including dismissal from the program

Mentorship days carry various themes and are slated for the first Saturday of every school holiday.  The volunteers meet with their individual mentee for a one-to-one session and assess the academic, spiritual and emotional progress of the beneficiaries using the HERA Mentorship Tools.  The beneficiaries also have peer-to-peer mentorship sessions so as to learn from each other.  School visits happen once every year where the mentors visit their individual mentees’ schools and have discussions with all the relevant stakeholders on how effectively to positively continue impacting the lives of the students.  Mentors  also make monthly mentorship calls to their beneficiaries. Home visits are done in instances where the academic, spiritual and emotional progress of the beneficiary requires specific attention. You can volunteer. to assist in our mentorship program by applying here.
