We are excited to introduce you to the remarkable community that is the Mwele Malecela Mentorship Program. Here, you'll have the opportunity to meet the exceptional individuals who make up our inaugural cohort: our driven Mentees and our experienced Mentors.

Our programme is dedicated to supporting mid-career African women in their journey to become leaders and champions in the elimination of Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) at both national and international levels. Officially launched on August 16, 2023, Cohort I of the MMM Programme will be running for two years. During this time, both Mentees and Mentors will have access to a wealth of resources, networking opportunities, and professional development experiences.

For our Mentees, this programme offers a unique chance to gain insights from seasoned experts in the field, expand their leadership skills, and drive impactful change in the NTDs field. Mentors, on the other hand, have the privilege of shaping the future leaders of NTD elimination and contributing their extensive knowledge to the next generation.

As Cohort I progresses, we anticipate numerous opportunities for collaboration, learning, and growth for all participants. Together, we aim to foster a vibrant mentoring community dedicated to advancing the cause of NTD elimination in Africa and beyond.

We invite you to explore the inspiring stories and profiles of our Cohort I Mentees and Mentors, which showcase the diverse talents, experiences, and ambitions that make this programme truly exceptional. Whether you are a Mentee seeking guidance or a Mentor eager to share your expertise, our mentorship community offers unwavering support.

Join us on this transformative mentorship journey, and let's work together to make a meaningful impact in the field of NTDs!
