My Ignite Mentorship Program Testimony

I am Jeffery Ferezy,Executive Director of Afrika Transition Hub and a proud member of the pioneering cohort of the Ignite Your Mentoring Passion Program. When I first joined the program, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. But looking back, it has been one of the mosttransformative experiences in my journey as a mentor and leader.

Over the past two years, I’ve had the privilege of engaging and supporting over 1,000 young professionals as they transition from college into the marketplace. The impact has been deeply fulfilling, reflected not only in their growth, but also in the powerful testimonials we continue to receive from those we serve. This level of impact would not have been possible without the foundation, structure, and mindset I gained through the Ignite Your Mentoring Passion Program [IYMP].

Today, we are leading initiatives that are shaping the future of work for young people across Africa. One of our current projects focuses on equipping and connecting 5,000 TVET graduates to opportunities within the construction and agriculture value chains especially within emerging sectors such as housing and agribusiness. A key focus of our work is empowering young women, particularly in construction a traditionally male-dominated field. We are intentional about ensuring that at least 70% of the young women we engage are successfully connected to these opportunities, creating pathways for inclusion and economic empowerment.

As we pursue our vision of impacting 1 million graduates across Africa by 2030, I remain deeply grateful to Dr. Mary Kamore for believing in me and walking this journey with me from the very beginning in 2022. Your guidance helped shape not just my path, but the lives of many young people we now
serve.

I can confidently say this: IYMP doesn’t just train mentors it transforms them. And through those mentors, countless lives are impacted. If you are considering joining Program, I encourage you to take that step. The investment you make in yourself will ripple into the lives of many others.

We shine a spotlight on the incredible achievements of the women in our mentorship programs. Their experiences show how guidance, skill-building, and strong networks can transform individual lives and ripple out to strengthen our entire M_OliveS Community.

Testimony – Franscesca Mwai :

“For the last three years, I have been enthusiastic to leverage on my START & IMPROVE YOUR BUSINESS skills a discipline that M_OliveS Mentoring Consultants helped to upscale when they offered training to Business Mentors who had been contracted by Capital Strategies Kenya Ltd in cooperation with KCB Group a bank to train ans mentor youth for MSME ,2024_2025 program.

Besides, it has been through MoliveS that I have been able to integrate my counseling and mediation skills to offer therapy sessions to those within my reach through church programs ;for instance have been helping the vulnerable in the society at KAG CHURCH _NYERI

I am currently a COURT ANNEXED MEDIATOR, using the skills acquired at MOLIVES, Dr. Wairimu M Kamore to assist parties to solve their disputes amicably .

Through collaboration with other dispute resolution expert I am the lead trainer at FRANK FOUNT MEDIATION AND CONSULTANCIES where mentorship is addressed at both individual and group levels as need be .

Coach Ann Gathegu’s Testimony

Our women, our pride 💜#IWD2026 ##GiveToGain

This fine Wednesday, we recognize Coach Ann Gathegu – a woman whose journey reflects resilience, purpose, and transformation.

Testimony – Coach Ann Gathegu:

“When I joined the 7-week mentorship program at M_OliveS Mentoring Consultants , I was already walking a deeply personal journey of rebuilding my life after loss. I was a widow, a mother of three daughters, and a professional woman navigating grief while trying to remain strong for everyone around me. What I did not fully realize then was that I was standing at the edge of transformation.

The mentorship program did more than equip me with skills: it gave structure, language, and confidence to the purpose that had been quietly forming within me.

Through the GROW Model, I learned how to guide conversations with clarity and intention. It sharpened my ability to help widows move from emotional overwhelm to practical action.

Through Active Listening, I discovered the power of presence. Many widows do not need quick solutions; they need to feel seen, heard, and understood. The program deepened my ability to hold space without rushing healing.

Through Appreciative Inquiry, I shifted from focusing only on what was broken to helping women rediscover what still remains: their strength, resilience, skills, faith, and capacity to rebuild.

And through Emotional Intelligence, I learned to navigate not only my own grief triggers, but also the complex emotional landscapes of the women I now serve. I became more aware, more compassionate, and more intentional in my leadership.

These tools did not remain theory.

They became the foundation upon which I wrote my book, Grace in the Ashes, a deeply personal and practical guide for widows learning to rebuild their lives emotionally, spiritually, and financially.

In Grace in the Ashes, I combine my lived experience as a widow, my professional background as a Certified Public Accountant, and the coaching skills refined through the MoliveS mentorship program. The book walks widows through the seasons of devastation, desperation, exploration and ultimately creation, helping them move from survival to purpose.

Today, I use the very tools I learned to help widows:

• Clarify their goals

• Make sound financial decisions

• Process grief with emotional awareness

• Rediscover purpose after loss

The mentorship did not just shape my skillset, it strengthened my calling. Through grace, structure, and intentional guidance, I now help widows rebuild their lives with confidence and hope.”
