University students in Kenya will now have mentors at the click of a button after the launch of Maramentor phone and computer application.
Mount Kenya university students have for the last two days been the target where the inventors camped at the institution explaining the application use.
Brian Mwaniki, the application’s team leader said that their main objective is to mentor the youth through what they see and like most.
“We are mentoring the youth through social media because we know it is the best for them now. The project has been successful in Nigeria and Tanzania. We are introducing it in Kenya starting with universities and polytechnics,” Mwaniki explained.
Mwaniki also revealed that there is an ongoing mentorship competition where a member who comes up with the best business idea will receive a prize of USD 1,000 to implement the idea. The prize is sponsored by Phil Bass, a United Kingdom national who has been described as an entrepreneur concerned with developing African youth.
Mwaniki called up the youth and especially those in this higher education institutions to take up the challenge.
The team heads to Kenyatta University, Ruiru campus today.
