Our Impact
After 10 years of delivering over 100 mentoring programs in the Middle East, Middle East and North African regions as well as the UK, we have an alumni of over 2000 entrepreneur and mentor. Through our programs, we’ve enabled our mentoring investors to achieve an average 890% Return on Mentoring Investment (ROMI) by helping them to sustain their businesses, create and safeguard jobs.
Our programs seek to encourage inclusivity and diversity, whether it’s gender, entrepreneurial growth stage, age groups, number of years in business and/or industries of focus. Through this, we enable the entrepreneurs and mentors to gain access to a broader range of skills, knowledge and experience to inspire and facilitate their growth.
We seek impact in 3 key areas:
- Personal Growth and Strengthening of Leadership
- Business Growth, Sustainability and Success
- Economic Growth, Job Creation and Safeguarding
We believe that it is through the entrepreneurs’ personal growth and empowerment, that they are better equipped to grow and develop sustainable businesses that provide economic opportunities and growth and ultimately generating vital job opportunities within their communities.
The 3-tiered impact that our programs achieve is evident and highlights that further investment in mentoring entrepreneurs would significantly benefit nations, in terms of unemployment, economic growth and leadership development.

*The ROMI analysis was based upon establishing the economic return being derived from the number of jobs created and safeguarded by Mowgli Entrepreneurs during their mentoring year, multiplied by the average pre-tax annual salaries within each country, against the project investment made, thereby providing the economic generation within each of the individual and regional economies. This analysis was carried out by Mowgli and verified by BDO LLP in the UK
