SIZANANI
MENTORSHIP PROGRAMME
Who Are We
The Sizanani Mentorship Programme was launched in 2007 by Laurence Leblanc, a French expatriate working for RATP Dev. Since then, the programme has been helping high school learners from Alexandra township in Johannesburg to succeed in their studies and gain access to universities through the provision of mentors and a variety of programs. Student bursaries and training has also been provided to our alumni.
Getting Involved
Whether you are an individual or a company, there are various ways to get involved with Sizanani Mentorship and make a difference in the lives of our learners and alumni.
​
Becoming a mentor is a very rewarding experience that allows you to witness first hand the growth of a teenager (grade 8 - 12) with the aim of seeing him/her access university.​ Click here to see a video with testimonies on the impact of mentorship.
You or your company can also get involved in one of our various activities. Donations are welcome, including second hand computers and phones.
Alumni
.Our alumni “success stories” are a testimony Sizanani's impact, as at least half of our learners go to universities and colleges. Most of them secure qualified jobs, becoming role models in their community and uplifting their families.

The alumni are also actively involved in the running of our activities, as volunteers and tutors. They are also involved in two training programs – entrepreneurship and employability – designed for them.
