Guided By Purpose

Founded in 2001 by Mrs. Tongoi, New Dawn Mentorship began as a mother’s vision for a safe, faith-rooted community where children could grow in wisdom, character, and purpose.

During the critical preteen and teenage years, young people look to one another for guidance, validation, and support.

That’s why we believe in the power of mentorship within a peer setting - to foster a culture of Christian values that empower them to become well-rounded, proactive, and confident.

The Journey That Transforms Lives

New Dawn Mentorship incorporates interactive sessions and immersive experiences and is delivered by trained facilitators in single-sex groups of 6-8 peers who meet monthly for 2-3 years.

See Your Child Thrive: Here’s How to Enrol

New Dawn Mentorship takes place within a child’s peer community. Children of the same age can join New Dawn from of a pre-existing community eg. students from the same school, church or sporting group.
However, if you and your child do not have access to a pre-existing community we’re happy to place you with other like minded families that are keen to form a New Dawn group.
Contact us via call or WhatsApp on 0732539570 to express your interest.
Following your expression of interest, a member of our team will be in touch with you to answer any questions and officially register your child and/or group.
New Dawn Mentorship has an annual program fee of Kshs. 35,000 per calendar year. Read our payment policy here, and contact our finance team at finance@newdawnkenya.com with any enquiries you may have.
New Dawn Mentorship Facilitators are rigorously vetted and trained to foster a strong sense of community while guiding children in discovering their life’s purpose through Christian mentorship.
After registration and payment, each New Dawn Group is presented with a selection of 2-3 facilitators to interview. The selected facilitator will then walk with the group for the duration of the program.
A Lead Parent is a parent who takes on a leadership role in supporting the smooth running of their New Dawn Mentorship group. They serve as a trusted point of contact with the main office, ensuring a seamless coordination that enhances their children’s overall program experience.
New Dawn groups are self-led with Mentorship sessions taking place once a month for the duration of the program, with up to 10 sessions per year.
Sessions are held in various locations, with each parent hosting the group on a rotating roster, at a location of their choosing - be it at their home, at a social club, park or venue of their choice that offers a comfortable and safe atmosphere for children to learn and express themselves.
The New Dawn Curriculum © is delivered by our trained facilitators through hands on activities, interactive sessions and immersive experiences that foster deep engagement and understanding.

Upon successful completion of our programs, participants will receive a certificate recognizing their commitment to mentorship program and their community engagement.
