Mowgli was established in 2008, recognising the need in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to stimulate entrepreneurship, change mindsets, strengthen leadership and generate prosperity. In 2017 Mowgli began expanding its work into Sub-Saharan Africa. Our award-winning methodology provides a supportive framework which empowers entrepreneurs, corporate employees, women and youth to unlock their potential and seize new opportunities for personal and professional growth.
Over the past decade Mowgli has worked with philanthropists, and local and international governmental and private sector partners such as FCO/DFID, European Union, European Bank of Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the World Bank to deliver mentoring programmes across the Middle East, North and Sub-Saharan Africa.
Our focus is on training volunteer professionals as quality 360 degree mentors who are able to facilitate the personal and professional growth of others, matching them with mentees and providing them with a supportive framework for them to co-develop solid foundations for their mentoring relationships. We have trained more than a thousand mentors who have empowered growth-minded individuals to create and retain jobs, increase personal and business income, achieve professional growth and strengthen their leadership, producing a significant economic and social return on investment.
