Our Youth Are Part of the Women We Celebrate. 
As we continue recognizing amazing women this week, we also celebrate the young women whose journeys are just beginning. Today, we recognize Sharon Mwangi, a Counselling Psychologist who is using mentorship to nurture confidence, identity and purpose among young girls.
Testimony – Sharon Mwangi, Counselling Psychologist:
“When I joined the Molives Mentorship Program, I was searching for practical ways to better support children and teenagers beyond the counselling space. I have always been passionate about walking alongside young people as they navigate life’s challenges, and I believed that mentorship could beautifully complement the counselling skills I already had.
Through the program, I discovered that mentorship is not about giving all the answers, it is about offering guidance, encouragement, and support that empowers mentees to find direction for themselves. I learned that a mentor’s role is to help young people unlock their potential, think through their challenges, and develop meaningful strategies that move them closer to their goals.
Today, I have the privilege of facilitating a mentorship program for young girls aged 11–12 years, where we create safe and meaningful spaces to talk about identity, self-worth, confidence, healthy friendships and many more topics. Seeing these girls open up, learn, and grow reminds me why mentorship matters so much.
I am deeply grateful for the skills and insights I gained through the Molives Mentorship Program.”
