Mentoring that crosses borders
eStudent 360 is a free global platform built by FacioTech Foundation to connect students with verified mentors, guided pathways, and practical career guidance.
01
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower students to pursue and achieve their dream careers by connecting them with mentors, resources, and networks that inspire growth and possibility. Founded on the belief that no one succeeds alone, this platform is a way of giving back — a continuation of the journey of walking on the shoulders of giants. Our commitment is to create supportive spaces that help young people navigate education, career transitions, and leadership with courage and purpose through stories, guidance, and lived experiences.

Our Vision
We see a future where every young person, no matter their background, has a supporter, a believer, and a companion on their path to their dream career. Rooted in the spirit of Ubuntu — I am because we are — we aspire to build a generation of students who rise by lifting others, just as those before them opened doors and shared wisdom. Through mentorship, community, and opportunity, we seek to nurture confident leaders, change-makers, and professionals everywhere.
The Challenge
Students need guidance
Millions of students worldwide — especially in developing regions — lack access to mentors. The guidance gap between those with connections and those without continues to widen.
- Limited access to career counsellors in schools across Africa and beyond
- Diaspora knowledge is trapped overseas and rarely reaches students who need it
- Existing mentoring platforms are expensive and not built for real-world conditions
Our Approach
Technology that connects
eStudent 360 bridges the gap by connecting students with mentors globally — diaspora professionals and local experts — through a platform designed for real-world conditions.
- Works on 2G/3G networks — optimised for low bandwidth
- Rules-based matching based on goals, interests, and language
- Built-in safety monitoring for every interaction
What We Stand For
