Love and Grow Mentorship is a program established in April 2013 intended to mentor young girls between the ages of 12 and 19 within the informal settlement called Msawawa in Johannesburg. During the operation in the community, numerous requests were received from parents to incorporate boys in the program, as boys face similar social and educational challenges. The organisation evolved to mentor young boys from January 2016. Furthermore, the enrollment criteria changed to mentor youths from age of 14 to 23. 

To ensure sustainability post matric, the decision was taken to support the youth as they move towards tertiary level or the work environment into young adult life. The focus area for the post matriculants is on tertiary institution, bursary and employment applications, including interview skills. The post matric youth are trained to become mentors within the community. Upon reaching our target and term in Msawawa , a strategic decision was taken to roll out the program in a different community. The identified community was a registered Children’s Home in Lenasia. The aim being to provide mentorship to children under the guardianship of the Children’s Home Management.
