Program Overview
In the shifting landscape of gender-responsive development, the challenges facing neglected and underserved boys remain both urgent and under-addressed. Many grow up in environments marked by emotional detachment, limited guidance, and few safe outlets to explore identity, aspirations, or vulnerability. This program is designed to restore dignity, self-worth, and practical life direction among vulnerable boys in Shanzu and surrounding communities through tailored mentorship, values formation, psychosocial support, and hands-on skills training.
Program Objectives:
- Establish structured mentorship circles led by responsible male role models and trained facilitators
- Provide sports equipment and safe recreation spaces to build teamwork, discipline, and emotional health
- Distribute grooming packs to support hygiene, dignity, and self-confidence
- Deliver carpentry kits and introductory training to spark vocational exploration and self-reliance
- Facilitate values-based workshops on empathy, responsibility, and community contribution
