About the Workshop

In a rapidly changing world, the boychild faces unique challenges. This 3-day immersive workshop is designed to equip young boys in Busia with essential life skills, emotional intelligence, and leadership capabilities.

We move away from traditional lectures. Instead, we use gamification, role-play, and hands-on challenges to make learning stick.

Learning Objectives

  • Self-Awareness: Understanding emotions and masculinity.
  • Decision Making: Navigating peer pressure.
  • Innovation: Problem-solving using local resources.
