The WeCare Centre for Community Awareness and Empowerment Initiative has announced strategic collaborations with Tesala Africa and Cohortle to support the delivery of its flagship WeCare Leadership & Impact Mentorship Program (WLIMP).
WLIMP is a youth-focused leadership and employability programme targeted at undergraduates and early-career graduates in Nigeria.
The Programme will run over an 8–10-week period, delivered through structured engagements focused on workplace readiness, career development, and practical employability skills. Core components include expert-led masterclasses, mentorship sessions, career development clinics, capstone project development, and leadership modules, all fully integrated into the WLIMP curriculum.
Under this collaboration, Tesala Africa will deliver three masterclass sessions under the employability component, in addition to expert-led mentorship sessions designed to deepen participant engagement, strengthen career readiness, and support the practical application of skills acquired throughout the Programme.
To support programme coordination and delivery, Cohortle, a cohort-based learning and mentorship platform, will provide the digital infrastructure for WLIMP. The platform will be used to organise learning modules, host programme resources, support mentorship sessions, manage assignments, and track participant engagement throughout the programme.
Speaking on the collaboration, Dr. Jamila Mohammed Dahiru, Founder and Executive Director of WeCare Centre for Community Awareness and Empowerment Initiative, explained that the partnerships are strategically positioned to strengthen programme delivery, safeguard quality, and ensure scalability as the initiative expands.
“The WeCare Leadership and Impact Mentorship Programme (WLIMP) is designed to move beyond inspiration to measurable outcomes by providing young people with structured learning pathways, targeted mentorship, and access to practical opportunities. Our collaboration with Tesala Africa and Cohortle strengthens technical delivery, enhances coordination, and reinforces an outcome-driven implementation framework, ensuring efficiency, accountability, and sustained impact as the programme scales,” she said.
From the technology perspective, Muhammad Sal, Founder of Cohortle, noted that many leadership and mentorship programmes struggle with organisation as they scale.
“Non-formal education programmes do a very important work, but they often rely on scattered tools that make coordination difficult. Cohortle exists to provide structure so organisers can focus on impact rather than logistics,” he said.
The collaboration will also support mentorship engagement and post-programme alumni continuity – enabling participants to remain connected to learning resources and opportunities beyond the mentorship cycle.
Programme delivery is expected to commence this Friday, 6 February, following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding in January, with a joint announcement published across all the partners’ official social media channels.
WLIMP continues to position itself as a leadership and employability pipeline for young Nigerians interested in governance, innovation, entrepreneurship, advocacy, and community development.
