Our work

How we work

Sauti Village operates on three core pillars. These three components work together to provide comprehensive support and inspiration for the children, empowering them to break the cycle of poverty and thrive.

One-on-One Mentorship

We connect children with African mentors who guide them through life’s challenges, helping them grow both personally and professionally.

Saturday Programs

These structured weekly Saturday programs provide organized activities including arts and crafts, singing and dancing, sports, Bible study and a hot meal. They aim to motivate and encourage the kids, fostering positive thinking, and build their confidence for the future.

Talent & Skills Development

We bring in a wide array of talented professionals from Africa and other parts of the world, to share their skills and knowledge, helping the kids discover and cultivate their talents.

Why Mentoring

Child and youth mentoring is a supportive relationship between the adult and young person. The mentor is someone who shares guidance, knowledge, and wisdom with the child, helping them to develop life skills, nurture the power of imagination, and achieve their God-given potential. According to a study by DuBois et al. (2002) published in the Journal of Adolescent Health, mentoring programs have been associated with positive outcomes in academic performance, self-esteem and relationships.

Benefits of Mentoring

Mentoring expands the young person's view of what's possible through shared experiences.

Builds confidence through support from someone who believes in them.

Encourages positive choices and deters harmful actions like violence and drug abuse

Increased inter-personal skills and ability to communicate.

Provides a steady, positive adult influence. Many children don't have this consistency from adults
