The Africa Mentor Network Inc. was founded 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 takes the responsibility of helping and guiding them towards the right path. Africa has all the resources needed to help motivate and inspire the younger generation to create an awareness for themselves, and to help them realize their full potentials to advance in their social, educational and economic opportunities.
