OUR VISION
OUR MISSION
Raising boys to be good men.
OUR VISION
To help raise boys to be good men with strong values, positively impacting families, communities and society, via a long-term MENtorship program.
WHAT WE DO
To achieve our goals, we focus on long-term mentoring and relationship building, instilling 5 specific values - courage, kindness, self-discipline, honesty and respect.
We primarily work with young boys between the ages of 5 and 10 as an intake age, but our long-term mentorship approach means that we will continue to be part of their lives throughout their school career and beyond.
-
We have weekly activities for age similar groups of no more than 5 boys at a time.
-
We have weekend activities where all the groups and sometimes families come together.
-
We have various camps throughout the year.
-
We provide a support structure for single mothers.
-
We advocate for the better treatment of women and children.
-
We run long term mentorship program for young boys with absent fathers.
OUR VALUES
Each week we discuss these 5 values with every boy in the program. We talk about them, what they mean and then we look at practical ways to make it part of our lives.
A key part of our mentoring program includes 5 core values which we believe are essential in helping a young boy become a man who's life is guided by the following:
-
Respect - to treat others, their belongings and their time the way you want to be treated.
-
Honesty - to tell the truth even when it is difficult.
-
Self Discipline - to do the right thing before someone tells you to.
-
Courage - to face your fears and conquer them.
-
Kindness. - to show that you have a good heart.
We believe that each boy should know the 5 values, understand what they mean, understand how to practically apply them to his life and most importantly know that without Jesus is it impossible to do this. - Jaco van Schalkwyk
