It’s Not About Being a Guru – It’s About Being Generous: The 1-2-3 Mentorship Drive

In this episode of The Social Impact Show, Sam Marshall speaks with Fiona Tabraham, Executive Director at UMUZI’s Experience Lab, about an inspiring new initiative transforming how mentorship is done in South Africa. With over 44 million young people not in employment, education, or training, UMUZI's 1-2-3 Mentorship Drive offers a simple but powerful call to action: one professional, two conversations, three meaningful actions — all it takes is 30 minutes to change a life.
Fiona unpacks how mentorship can break barriers, build social capital, and create opportunity — especially for youth with technical training but no access to networks or real-world experience. Whether you're a busy professional, facing retirement, or just someone with lived experience, this initiative is designed to make giving back easy and impactful.
Plus, Fiona teases UMUZI’s newly launched green entrepreneurship accelerator in partnership with UNICEF — aimed at building sustainable businesses in the green economy.
This is a powerful listen about hope, simplicity, and how small actions create big change.
