One of Caversham Institute’s values is empowerment. True empowerment is evidenced in one’s ability to empower others and this is the cornerstone of the Institute’s mentorship programme. Our mentees are Caversham Institute students who, during their studies have shown strong leadership potential. They are all women of courage and vision who have remarkable life stories to tell. They have a passion for taking and using the knowledge and skills they have gained to make a contribution to the lives of others.
