Our History
"Tell me, and I'll forget. Show me, and I may not remember. Involve me, and I'll understand." -Native American proverb
“Africa Helping Africans” - The Africa Mentor Network us a mentoring and networking organization was founded by Esi Yankah, based on a simple idea of helping the African youth to help themselves through mentoring and networking. Everyone needs a mentor in his or her life. Every young person at a point in time needs some guidance or help in their personal and career decisions. The future of the younger generation of Africans can be improved if the older generation take the responsibility of helping and guiding them towards the right path. Esi strongly believes that Africa has all the resources needed to help motivate and inspire the younger generation to create an awareness for themselves and help them realize their full potentials and advance in their social, educational and economic opportunities.
It was very clear that a thorough, effective and traceable mentoring network and program was needed to continuosly help shape lives of fellow Africans by first bridging the gap between the young and old,encouraging them to get an education, inspiring them to believe and achieve, networking them with the right people and helping them to promote and develop Africa.
This organizations programs are structured in a cyclical way to encourage and challenge Africans to get an education,build friendships and networks, be inspired and become leaders, develop visions and goals, give back to their community, become entrepreneurs and help make Africa the center of excellence.
The Africa Mentor Network is officially incorporated in the USA with a 501c3 status and also in Ghana.
