Cross Border Mentoring
The Houréra Mentoring project aims to put young people based in French-speaking Africa in contact with qualified and experienced tutors based abroad. Mentors and mentees are located in different countries to make it easy for young people to confide.
This might be impossible in their country because of prejudices, culture or the lack of qualified people suited to their needs. The tutors will be able to listen to them, guide them and support them morally and professionally in their projects or personal problems. This in respect, confidentiality and without judgment.

Targets & Selection
• Mentees are between 15 and 25 years old or 25 to 35 years old depending on the phase.
• Priority is given to young girls but the program is also open to young men.
• All tutors are women. This helps to improve preconceptions about women as well as issues of representation in all walks of life.
• The selection of tutors is made according to the professional background, the objectives of the mentees or their problems.
