ANNUAL REPORT 2014/15
The Madrinha Trust
Developing Future Leaders of the Developing World
Mentees who started tertiary education in 2015.
Registered Charity No. 1140672
Chairman’s Letter
Dear Friends
It has been another fulfilling and eventful year where we have added some
new members to our family, and eight of our students have graduated on to
tertiary education, a goal they had only dreamed of achieving. Settling into
university life is a daunting experience, especially as many will be moving
away from their families, and even countries, for the first time. This is where
our mentors really prove their worth, with helpful tips on goal setting and
work life balance.
Several of our students have encountered severe hardships in the past
twelve months, from the armed conflict in Palestine to the recent devastating
earthquakes in Nepal, not forgetting terrorist atrocities in Kenya and Nigeria
and disruption caused by the Ebola epidemic.
In a climate of continuing unrest and upheaval it is inspiring to see how our
young mentees keep calm and carry on. The world needs well rounded, well
educated people with global vision to provide leadership within their communities and to be role models for their peers.
My thanks, as always, to our wonderful group of dedicated trustees who give
so much of their time to keep the wheels firmly on the bus - a team who
many corporates would envy. Thanks, too to Ladi Dariya who keeps the
wheels oiled!
It goes without saying that without our mentors we would not be able to
change lives in such a dramatic fashion. I am indebted to you all.
To our truly exceptional mentees, my best wishes for the road ahead. I hope
we can help you make your dreams come true, and I look forward to hearing
from you as you pass the milestones on your journey.

Who we are
Madrinha Trust was set up in 2011 by Mike and Jania Geoghegan based on the belief
that access to education is the best way of creating lasting, positive change in the
world and that good education is vital to develop leadership potential in young people.
Leaders in this context comprises not just political and business heads but also professionals and those whose achievements and standards can serve to inspire others
around them and the next generation.
We at Madrinha Trust believe that many young people in the developing world have
great potential and that if they are given the opportunity to realise it, this will improve
the quality of their lives and the lives of those around them. We recognise that there
are many barriers that prevent them from achieving their goals in life; in particular the
lack of access to opportunities for learning and personal development, as well as positive role models to look up to.
Madrinha Trust has provided/is providing mentoring and funding for fifty young people
across thirteen developing countries, supported by fifty one active and prospective
mentors based mostly in the UK. We currently work in partnership with eleven UK
registered charities, all with an effective presence in these countries.
Our Vision is to ‘Develop Future Leaders of the Developing World’.
Our Mission is to inspire and support young people through…
Providing Education
To provide educational funding for disadvantaged young people with leadership ability, to encourage, promote and maximise their achievement of a high quality, wellrounded education which will enable them to contribute to the development of their
home communities.
Creating Opportunity
To Provide individually tailored support for their development through exceptional
mentoring by people who understand and have an affinity for their country, circumstance, subject of study and/or future ambition; encouraging an open mentoring relationship to boost their confidence and create an avenue for exploring the opportunities
open to them.
Breaking down Barriers
To encourage mentees to take an active role in their learning environment and wider
communities; encouraging them to have a sense of self-worth and to work actively
towards reducing barriers that may have been caused by their initial disadvantage.

Our Values
Our practices
Innovative, forward looking and inspirational
We are responsive to the needs of our mentees,
committed to helping them to achieve their goals
by creating an enabling environment.
We are passionate about communicating and
celebrating successes to encourage further
achievement and to give our mentees a greater
sense of self-worth.
We seek to instill in our mentors and mentees a
drive and sense of purpose to enable them to
make a positive difference in their communities
and the wider world.
Caring, fair and respectful
We strive towards looking at the world through
our mentees’ eyes; reducing knowledge to that
simple compound of the obvious and wonderful.
We strive through our mentors, to be our
mentees’ window into the wider world.
3
Open and outward looking
We involve our partner charities in our correspondence
with younger mentees nominated by them. We involve
them in decisions concerning these mentees and create
opportunities to enable them to celebrate their success
and ours.
We value the contribution of our partner charities and
take time to consult them and listen to their views.
Integrity and
effectiveness
We strive to awaken our mentees to their full potential.
Our mentors guide mentees to learn by what engages
their interest, the educational path best suited to their
individual talents.
Socially responsible
We have always considered the impact of our work on
the communities we work with. We strive to make a positive and lasting difference to society. We will ensure our
mentoring and funding does not exclude our mentees
from their school community but includes them at a
clear advantage.
We encourage our mentees to be useful, to be honourable, compassionate and to give back to their communities and make a difference.
Pay forward
and Give-Back’
policies
We impress on our mentees the need to have a firm
commitment to serve the needs of their local communities and the wider world as soon as they are able.
We continue to make this expectation clear, from the
start of the mentoring relationship.

Where we are
Africa: Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa and Zambia.
Asia: India, Nepal and Sri Lanka.
Middle East: Palestine
South America: Brazil.
Caribbean: Barbados.
For 2015, the Trust’s selection of strategic countries was limited to India, Kenya, Lesotho, Nepal, Palestine, Rwanda, South Africa, Swaziland and Zambia. The choice of
these countries is inspired by the evident inequality amongst their citizens, high population density in urban areas, large families, high infant and maternal mortality rates
and low levels of education among the disadvantaged, as well as poor educational
facilities and low literacy rates. Yet young people in these countries are very ambitious, desirous and deserving of a better future, a future free from, if not material then
at least intellectual poverty.
Partnering with like-minded charities that have effective presence in these countries
means that our support goes to the most deserving of candidates; ensuring that we
are able to identify young people who aspire to be pillars of their societies. Helping our
mentees to achieve their dreams is very much a privilege.
5
Our Mentees

They are High Achievers who very often have no positive role
models within their local communities;

They are from disadvantaged backgrounds and often the first within their families to aspire to higher education. Without the Trust’s
support, it is unlikely that they could complete their education and
realise their ambition.
They have the potential to become leaders in various fields and within their
communities. Our mentors aim to guide them to recognise and optimise their
potential.
As a pre-requisite to Madrinha Trust’s sponsorship and mentoring relationship, they must agree to commit to give back and ‘pay forward’ to their communities and contribute as change makers.
They are able and willing to communicate their needs, goals (short, medium
and long) and their challenges to their mentors. They are willing to collaborate with their mentors and work towards their goals.
Our Mentors

They are professionals in various fields who understand the value
of their gift of time to support a mentee;

They have an affinity for the mentee’s country, subject of study or
aspirations; very often all three;

They empathise and understand the mentees’ circumstances,
environment, and educational system.

They attend our interactive sessions and actively strive to understand and mentor in line with the Trust’s ethos;

They often have language skills that make communicating with
the mentees both easier and more enjoyable for the mentee
6
Our Partner charities

Our partner charities have effective presence in the countries in
which they operate, and a working knowledge of their educational,
political and economic settings.

We have easy access to a named individual within our partner
charity who is responsible for responding to our queries, allaying
any concerns and is amenable to being guided in our ethos, requirements and targets.

They are financially stable, have other sources of funds and are not
dependent on our funding.

They participate in our interactive sessions and celebrate the success of our mentees.

They actively participate in recommending and recruiting suitable
mentors, who are familiar with their region or country of operation.
How we work
Board of trustees:
The board consists of nine (9) members who are professionals in various
fields, united by their wish to create positive change in the world. Madrinha
Trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the
Trust; a role they find rewarding, enjoyable and one which affords an opportunity to serve humanity.
The Executive Committee (EXCO) is a small group of specialist trustees,
including the founder, who make speedier decisions as required and take any
appropriate actions between Trustees’ meetings. It consists of four (4) members. The EXCO meet monthly except on the months of a Trustee meeting
and provide summary advisory updates of decisions/actions made/taken, to
Trustees each month.
The Education and Mentoring Committee (E & M) assists EXCO & Trustees to develop informed criteria for the selection of partner charities, for suitable candidates to put forward and for matching the right mentors to
mentees.
7
Our Strategy
The Madrinha Trust, having assessed its performance since inception, has decided to


Continue with its current mentees, provided they meet its criteria;
To add further mentees


from one of the strategic countries; and

are committed to participating fully in the mentoring process.
are recommended by one of its partner charities as being capable of becoming leaders of the developing world; and
A leader is someone who has excelled academically and achieved more than his or her
peers through determination and diligence, has demonstrated what can be achieved and
become a role model for their peers and respected by their community.
Going forward, Mentees will be selected as follows:

Each charity will be asked to select one student each year, who fulfils the criteria set out above. In particular the charity will explain the educational system in
the country and ensure that the mentee will be in the top quartile in the country. Top quartile will be defined and agreed between Madrinha and each charity and could equate to an “A grade student” or 1st/2:1 level degree.

Mentees will be starting their 6th Form studies and preparing to attend university in 2 years;

Mentees will submit a statement of intent that shows evidence of their willingness to be mentored and advised on career choices, although changes that
are carefully considered may well be part of the outcome of mentoring;

Electronic communication with the mentee will be tested before full engagement to ensure that communication can be frequent.
Current mentors will continue in post. Subsequent engagements will be decided upon by
recommendation from E&M to EXCO. Both committees will apply the following criteria:


Emotional intelligence (which is not always acquired by age/maturity);

Technical fit: knowledge of the sorts of careers in which the mentee has expressed an interest.
Cultural fit: knowledge of the country in which the mentee resides, or a commitment to do so;
8
Each assessment will include a face-to-face interview with at least one member of the E&M Committee.
Mentors will be expected to;




Receive two hours induction training in mentoring including the
tools available to Madrinha;
Attend an annual mentoring conference (in London);
Report on progress annually, covering educational attainment
and personal development of the mentee
Share significant events or communications which can be circulated in a mentors’ newsletter
As mentees develop it may be appropriate to add a second mentor or change
the mentor to someone more qualified in the skills that the mentee is acquiring. This would be seen as a successful engagement by the first mentor.
Blue Sky
Madrinha aims to be the best regarded charity for developing future leaders of
the developing world through its excellent mentoring programme.
It could attract funds from other funding organisations to augment the current
scope of its activities.
Madrinha will aim to attract funding from Foundations and companies that are
each capable of providing significant financial and other support.
Madrinha will create a community of its 100+ mentees and 50+ mentors and

Our Performance
Madrinha Trust currently has 51 mentors who are professionals from medicine, to business, marketing, teaching etc, providing this support.
In addition to working with charities based in the UK, the Trust's partnerships
include direct contact with various universities in many of the countries in
which we work, to secure places for mentees graduating from secondary education into tertiary studies. Notable amongst these are The University of the
Western Cape (South Africa) Texila American University in (Guyana), University of KwaZulu Natal (South Africa), Monash University (South Africa), Fountain University (Nigeria), Lusaka Apex Medical University (Zambia), The University of the West Indies (Barbados) and the English National Ballet School
where the Trust will produce its first Professional Ballet dancer this summer,
to mention a few.
Madrinha Trust has already produced a Marine Engineer who graduated from
Greenwich University with a 2:1, an MBA graduate who completed with Merit
from Bournemouth University and is now the Head of Product Development
for a car company in India and a Veterinary Science graduate who completed
with a Distinction from the University of Nairobi, Kenya. All three are now
working in their communities and provide support for others.
The provision of professional, tailored individual assessment for mentees is
central to the Trust’s service delivery. We recognise that not many of our
mentees know their strengths and the course to study that would make best
use of that strength when they need to make their Tertiary choice. Contacts
are made and maintained with independent assessors as well as with the individual schools/ colleges and universities to ensure there is a smooth transition between secondary and tertiary education.
In January 2015, eight (8) mentees successfully secured places at universities to pursue their dreams in various fields.
10
Mentor and Mentee survey
During early 2015, we instigated a world-wide survey including all mentors and
mentees.
The feedback from 33 mentees and 29 mentors, has demonstrated to us that while
the symbiotic relationship has taken root and is growing in varying degrees, much
needs to be improved through more precise and in depth evaluation. The following
aspects require further attention and action:
1) The feedback reveals a disparity in mentors’ and mentees’ ratings about the success of the relationship and their difference in expectations. Responses to the first
two questions reveal glaring disparity. 77% of mentees but only 44% of mentors rated
their relationship as good. While 6% of mentees felt it could be improved, 24% of
mentors think that more could be done to improve the symbiotic relationship.
Does this reveal the cultural, generational, expectational gap between mentees and
mentors? Most mentees from a deprived background may never have had a mentor
who could help them academically, or guide them in choices, hence any little help is
phenomenal. Or perhaps, mentees think they should not be ungrateful or disappoint
the mentors hence they tend to over rate?
2) There is need for more focused goal setting, and performance review of mentees’
study methods and advice on career choices. That is echoed by many of the mentees
and mentors.
3) The majority of mentees have stressed the need for more contact and social networking with peers and mentors via social media. There is much to be gained from
clustering of mentees and mentors based on courses of studies to promote peer
group bonding and influence. This also will augur well for our future strategy when we
start the alumni to continue the pay forward and give back scheme.
4) In formulating improvement action, we need to invite and seek professional advice
and participation from those in the education profession to help improve our mentoring communication methods.
We also need to engage the younger mentors to build a robust and creative platform
via social media to communicate more openly.

Our Aspiration
Madrinha Trust aims to be the best regarded charity for developing future leaders of
the developing world through its excellent mentoring programme.
Madrinha Trust will create a community of its 100+ mentees and 50+ mentors and will
hold a webinar annually with guest speakers reflecting on progress and aspirations,
and making connections to enable everyone to be the best that they can be.
It could attract funds from new agencies to augment the current scope of its activities
and will aim to attract funding from Foundations and companies that are each capable
of providing material support and resources.
Who we Mentor
A Snapshot of some Mentoring Partnerships.
Co–mentoring:
Elsa-Ruth (Barbados) and Alice (Kenya)
(From left to right, Meena, Sui Chin, Alice and Elsa-Ruth)
Meenakshi Nayar and Sui Chin McKeand are jointly mentoring Alice (Kenya) and
Elsa-Ruth (Barbados) both of whom are medical students, with the aim of building a
community of future doctors within the Madrinha Trust family. Alice is in her third year
of mentored funding and first year of medical school while Elsa-Ruth joined the
Madrinha Trust family effective January 2015 and in her second year of medical
school.
12
Meena’s message to Elsa-Ruth welcomed her “to the medical world and to the
Madrinha Trust! Both of which are wonderful worlds. I was impressed with your write
up-your determination, faith and good spirit to become an obstetrician”. Elsa-Ruth’s
response asserted that “it is wonderful to finally meet you and thank you for such a
warm Madrinha welcome”.
As part of Madrinha Trust’s strategy to cluster mentees studying in similar fields and /
or in the same region, Elsa-Ruth was recently introduced to Ayman; a medical student in Palestine. “Thank you for contacting me... I am doing well and am delighted to
have finally been introduced to you. Based on our quick chat on Facebook thus far,
you seem to be quite passionate and driven which is very good. I was very impressed by your excellent achievements in your OSCE’s and asked Mrs. Geoghegan
if we could be introduced since I too will be taking these exams later this year. I have
made it through a lot of my exams in the past by receiving guidance from those who
have gone through it before me so I am very happy that you are so kind to offer me
your support as well. I also think that it is very awesome to have a friend from Palestine. I’ve never even dreamed of that happening before. As you have said, we will do
great things together and I wish you all the best in your exams. ‘Ya’tik el’afi’, I am
confident that you will do well”.
Speaking of her relationship with her co-mentee, Alice delightedly confirmed “I have
been communicating with Elsa Ruth Arthur through WhatsApp, sharing ideas and
experiences of our studies in medicine”.
She is currently working in London and holds the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) fellowship in Neurological Rehabilitation and Sui Chin is chairman of
the E & M Committee and legal adviser to the Madrinha Trust.
‘A father-figure’:
Mduduzi (South Africa) and Graham
Mduduzi (South Africa) is a bright young lad from a single parent home. He is in his
first year of Computer Science and Information Technology studies at the University
Of KwaZulu Natal. His very hard working mother instilled the value of hard work in
him.
(Mduduzi and Graham)
13
Writing to the Trust, Mdu said; “I am so proud of my achievements so far in
life and I am still longing for more. I have never thought of how it feels like
to have a male role model in my life to give advice, but through the trust I
am able to get that and I am thrilled!
I am the first in my family to go to university, and I realise that the younger
kids in my family and in the community are looking up to me. So I have to
set a good example and pass on the knowledge, skill and experience acquired to make a better World. As Mother Teresa said "I alone cannot
change the World but I can cast a stone into the waters to create many
ripples".
The mentoring programme offered by Madrinha Trust to me is excellent. Mr
Sims is really a good person who sets valuable objectives to enable me
reach my goals. I find his objectives and advice helpful both academically
and socially. He uplifts the spirit of optimism, hard work, and social engagement in me. And of course I would like to thank him for taking his time
just to help me succeed in my studies. I believe that with Mr Sims as my
mentor, nothing will stand in my way of reaching my goals. I look up to him
as a great leader that I hope one day I will become like him.
What the Trust has done to me is huge and it makes me believe that as we
live in a world of technological advancement through Computer Science I
can make a huge contribution to my country, particularly in my rural community, to enhance computer literacy as it becomes a necessity in our everyday life. As Tata Nelson Mandela said ‘Education is the most powerful
weapon you can use to change the world’”.
Graham Sims is an experienced Chairman and CEO across Public Liability
Companies and PE backed businesses with UK & International experience.
He has established records of delivering highly successful differentiated
strategic growth and the transformation of the commercial divisions of global brands. He is a trustee and EXCO member of Madrinha Trust and delighted to be Mdu’s mentor.

New terrains:
Collins (Kenya) and Roger Green
Collins recently lost his father due to illness. It was therefore extremely poignant for
Roger to hear the words from Collins; “you are just like a father to me. Being mentored by you has made my life and studies so much easier”.
Collins who is delighted with his new life studying medicine at the university wrote
to his mentor, “I got a comfortable accommodation and I have now settled. My studies kicked off well and I have now caught up with the pace. What I like most is the
freedom at the university which I was being denied at secondary school. You actually live your own life at the university. The only subject I find somewhat challenging
is anatomy, while the less challenging ones are physiology and biochemistry”.
In his very perceptive way, Roger says he is “pleased that you are settling in well
and are catching up with the pace of learning. Well done. It is interesting that you
are understanding the concepts and ideas behind physiology and biochemistry. The
fact that you feel confident in these subjects shows that you have had a good education in chemistry and physics and you are of high intelligence. Anatomy is a problem because of the amount of information rather than the difficulty of the concepts”.
Roger has consistently given Collins guides on how to study and understand the
different science courses, drawing from his personal experience of working in various African countries through the Institute of Physics and his personal teaching
experience in the UK. Although he hasn’t previously worked in Kenya, Roger has
since acknowledged that the route to success in the sciences is very similar, no
matter where you are learning.
He concluded; “well done again. You have obviously hit the learning road running!”

Engaging our Mentors, Partner Charites and Supporters
On 10th June 2015, Madrinha Trust’s mentors from all walks of life, its Partner
charities and supporters, met at the May Fair Hotel for an interactive mentoring session. The aim was to find ways to improve its mentoring partnerships
and ensure that the Trust’s mentees continue to realise their full potential.
Opening the evening, Sui Chin McKeand (Chairman of the Education and
Mentoring Committee), shared the words, “true Wisdom is when you know
you know nothing – Socrates”. She emphasised that the Trust’s mentoring
feedback has shown that further work needs to be done if the Trust is to create the type of legacy it has demonstrated itself capable of producing.
The “call to action” was to set up sub-committees that would look at the
Trust’s processes and create/encourage those that would ensure a lasting
legacy. Valuable lessons shared included:
“Aspire to inspire, before you expire”.
“The difference between training and life?
In training, you are taught a lesson and then given a test.
In life, you are given a test that teaches you a lesson.
May all of your lessons be positive and purposeful.“
“A coach will help you do what you need to do,
but a mentor will help you do what you want to do”.
16
The evening summarised what the Madrinha Trust’s ethos, in a single acronym“PROSPECT” (P - Pay forward to give back, R- Respect integrity and
diversity O- Optimise potential, S- Serve community, P-Plan effectively, E- Encourage
achievement, C- Collaborate care, T- Tackle barriers).
It was a huge honour to have Madrinha Trust’s benefactor and Patron Mr Mike
Geoghegan at the event.
