This programme has two levels;
the first level is to empower young men between 18 and 25 years with knowledge and wisdom in order for them to become mentors and role models to younger boys.
We focus on behaviour in school, at home and in the community at large. One important aspect is how to treat girls and women in a respectful manner and understand what constitutes abusive behaviour.
The second level is about study skills. The programme aims to assist the participants to accomplish and further their education.
The programme has grown from 23 boys in 2022 to 60 boys in 2023.
