Raising a generation of empowered orphans
Skills. Discipleship. Opportunity.
The August Mandate empowers orphans and young persons through practical media and technology education — with continuous mentorship, discipleship, and personal development that extends beyond a one-week training programme into a lifelong journey of transformation and opportunity.
Our Vision
To raise a generation of empowered orphans by equipping them with relevant media and technology skills, godly discipleship, mentorship, and opportunities that enable them to become self-reliant, purpose-driven, and impactful members of society.
Our Mission
The August Mandate exists to transform the lives of orphaned children and young adults by equipping them with media and technology skills, nurturing them through mentorship and discipleship, and providing long-term opportunities that empower them to become confident, skilled, and purpose-driven leaders who positively impact their communities.
More Than a One-Week Programme
Every August we train. All year round we mentor, disciple, and open doors.
Media & Technology Training

Discipleship & Mentorship
Godly discipleship and continuous mentorship that walk with each participant far beyond the one-week August training.
Lifelong Opportunities
Scholarships, internships, employment pathways, and a supportive community that turn training into lasting transformation.
