Give A Boy A MENtor in 2024
Four out of five boys lack a positive male role model, contributing to a rise in gender-based violence and a lack of self-love that hinders their ability to respect and value women. Without these role models, boys miss crucial lessons on perseverance, equality, and self-worth. The scarcity of men teaching boys to pursue their dreams, value diversity, and express vulnerability is linked to increasing suicide rates among men and teenagers. We urgently need men to step up, demonstrate true strength through vulnerability, and guide boys toward a healthier, more respectful adulthood.
But it doesn't have to be this way. You can help provide Positive Male Modeling, Guidance, Self-Worth, Mental Health Support, and Emotional Development. A gift of just R300 a month is enough to bring a MENtor into a boy's life.
Join The Oak Forest, our monthly giving community and you’ll bring mentorship to boys every month. A Forest of Oaks emphasizes the resilience of Oak Trees, a picture that shows we are fighting together against the negative impacts of fatherlessness.
