Katuka participants delighted to start mentorship journey
By Confidente Reporter
RECENTLY 37 mentors and mentees of the Katuka Mentorship Programme completed three days of orientation training in Windhoek.
Of these, two of the mentees, Ksveria Hambabi and Ndeshi Kakwambi, whom Louise Profijt and Janet Njembo will mentor, said they are delighted to have started their mentorship journey and attain their goals in the process.
Conducted by well-known human resource specialist Sabine Ruegg, the three-day orientation training programme kicked-off with a self-understanding session for the mentees, based on their ambitions and aspirations.
On the second day, the mentors introduced themselves to the mentees and later got to bond as a team on the last day.

Hambabi, a teacher by profession, remarked that she learned a lot during the induction session and cannot wait to achieve her goals for 2021.
“I always look for ways to improve on my profession, and I am looking forward to learning as much as I can in all spheres of my life,” said Hambabi, who added her goal is to grow as a participant and pass on the knowledge to others to make Namibian a better place.
A loyal Bank Windhoek customer specialising in Information Technology, Kakwambi, mentioned that being part of the programme encourages her to be open-minded and achieve her goals and not limiting herself.
Asked what she would like to accomplish after the programme, Kakwambi said, “My key objective is to acquire a strong leadership attitude”.
Mentors Profijt and Njembo, who are seasoned human resources and project management experts, said they are passionate about guiding young Namibian women to attain their goals and succeed in their professional and business lives.
Based in Oranjemund, Profijt said her plan for her mentee is to get her to network.
She said this will help her mentee get to know people who can add value during their journey towards achieving their goals.
“I am passionate about giving back to the young talented Namibian women,” said Profijt.
Njembo echoed Profijt’s sentiments after saying that her goal is to ensure that her mentee achieves at least 70 percent of what she wants this year.
Bank Windhoek head of corporate social investments, sponsorship and events, Bronwyn Moody, reminded the mentees that the programme had matched them with reputable mentors.
“There is magic in the relationship you can cultivate with your mentor, and it is my sincere hope that you build careers and business that make all the difference in your lives,” she said.
