About Program

Meet Mmanti Umoh

One mentee, One movement, One mission at a time.

The MMANTI Model

The name MMANTI is both a tribute and a framework, rooted in values and results:

This program offers mentees rare access to mentorship, connections, capacity building, and an ecosystem that positions them for local and global relevance.

Vision

To raise a generation of courageous, competent, and visionary leaders across sectors—armed with clarity, character, and connection.

Mission

To equip emerging African changemakers with the tools, wisdom, access, and accountability needed to lead well, serve excellently, and multiply impact.

Program Objectives

Equip mentees with strategic thinking, emotional intelligence, purpose discovery, and systems-level leadership tools.

Foster a community of integrity, purpose, collaboration, and collective transformation.

Provide access to Mmanti’s global network of policy-makers, CEOs, creatives, educators, development partners, and nation-builders.

Entry Model: Nomination-Based

To maintain excellence, accountability, and authenticity, entry into the MMANTI program is strictly by nomination.
Each candidate must be nominated by a credible leader, including:

Someone who can vouch for the nominee’s potential, purpose, and commitment to growth
Someone willing to sponsor a mentee’s mentorship journey whether by covering the ₦50,000 access fee for the General Cohort, the higher investment required for the Strategy Cohort, or the $1,500 Legacy Inner Circle is making a mark of belief and investment in that young person’s future. Alternatively, individuals may also choose to conveniently pay for themselves in the cohort that best aligns with their growth needs.

Mentees are not just chosen; they are watched over.
