Abstract

PURPOSE: We examine a mentorship component within a family-based economic empowerment intervention for AIDS-orphaned children in Uganda.
METHOD: Mentorship was guided by a comprehensive 9-session curriculum. We present themes developed from the mentors' field reports and logs.
RESULTS: Findings suggest that mentorship offers AIDS-orphaned children opportunities to develop and strengthen future plans. Moreover, the mentorship process was beneficial to both the mentees and their mentors. The program creates a positive life trajectory for a highly vulnerable group of youth.
CONCLUSION: The findings can be used to understand and design mentorship programs targeted at improving the psychosocial wellbeing of children and adolescents.
