Junior Achievement Kenya, “JA Mentors On Board (MOB)"
Mentors On Board aims to connect business experience to
rural and disenfranchised schools in Kenya, mentoring one school at a time. Through
the acquisition of a nine-passenger vehicle, JA Kenya will recruit mentors who
will traverse rural Kenya, mentoring students via JA programs and sowing seeds
of entrepreneurship in locations and schools JA would otherwise not reach due
to limited capability.
