Who We Help
Boys are half the world’s population, yet many remain a vulnerable, neglected and important demographic who are often subject to adverse role models.
The reality is that due to their own abuse & abandonment, many of Africa’s boys are vulnerable to the destructive paths that lead to poverty, crime and violence. This reality adversely affects the lives of Africa’s other vulnerable demographic: her women and children.
A new reality and a different path is needed if we are to truly impact the lives of all Africa’s children—including her boys.

How We Do It
3 steps to a New Path
TEACH PRINCIPLES
The principles of making Good Choices, becoming Accountable, obeying Rules, understanding Consequences, living in Gratitude, Serving others, Respecting women, and Leadership skills, are the keys to success. Principles are a young man’s North Star. Without them, boys become lost, confused, and troubled. Learn More
PROMOTE SELF-RELIANCE
Financial and business management, problem solving, critical thinking, and learning to work with others are some of the self-reliance principles we teach. Without them, young men are less likely to trust their own creative and unique abilities. Learn More
DELIVER JOB SKILLS
Learning a marketable job skill is crucial to a boy’s development into provident living. Job skills build self-worth, boost self-confidence, and help to put boys on a path out of poverty. Learn More
