BOY UP PROJECT

This Boy Up project will be used to train school drop out
rural boy to be self defensive by knowing their full rights and fighting for them to live a good life. For example fighting to earn education, food, clothing, employment e.t.c

This service aims to:
-To enhance boy child protection, promote a culture of their rights and enlighten their rights and welfare.
-To rehabilitate male children who have been in streets, criminal activities, outlawed sects, violence and drug/ substance abuse all due to unemployment and luck of parental guidance.

There has been a great neglect of boy child in Uganda as their welfare is ignored by many. Many people and organizations have come in to promote the welfare of girl child; leaving the boy child behind. This has therefore left many Ugandan boys ignorant on the rights, wellbeing, welfare and social justice of the boy child. Therefore the programme is committed to promote the Education, Empowerment, Rehabilitation, Welfare and Social Justice of every boy child.
This is really so uncommon, finding a campaign that is aiming at fighting for the rights of boys in Uganda or the empowerment of the boy child.
The fact that the male sex is considered to be stronger than the females, the boys in Uganda have always been left out. Yes, the male adults are really strong people that can easily copy up and adjust to any environment and condition unlike the females.

In our country girls and women have been at the top of every government and organizations program to development through emancipation, empowerment and family care, economically, healthy wise, awareness of their rights and entire development. But a boy child has been neglected and forgotten.
However, there is a huge difference between male adults and the boys in Uganda. From the physical appearance and energy to the thinking, they totally prove that the little boys still need some nurturing and grooming, continuous guidance and support if we are to raise responsible men in Uganda.

When a girl is impregnated by a boy of the same age, a girl is counseled and pampered while a boy will be punished and taken to remand home without counseling and considering that he is a child.
That's why we have come up with this project to groom a rural boy through counseling and training in awareness of their rights and also empower them economically to change them into powerful men that will become responsible husbands of our girls in the next generation.
So by this project we want train them morally, skill them for self employment and train them on how to lead and treat others in the Society.
The activities we expect are , metal welding, moulding, paving, brick laying and carpentry. Also training for rights awareness and referral points to know where to report for violence.

But who is there for the poor boys in Uganda? All Non-government Organizations and Charity organizations have majorly focused on the girl child. This is not bad at all, but also the boys need some support and guidance at some point.
The young boys in Uganda, especially the adolescents have faced several challenges and unfortunately, we have all kept a deaf ear and blind eye to their howls, too sad! Possibly you have noticed that the most suffering youth in Uganda are boys, even the biggest number of street children in Uganda.
At the end of the project we expect 200 boys to have benefitted and started their own small projects out of this which will employ and train others to prevent poverty by creating employment.
So we invite volunteers , partners any resources for the project.

You can also suggest in the best ways you think that would help us raise boys in Uganda into responsible men. And also join the campaign to raise responsible citizens in the future.
BOY UP FOR OUR BOYS TO BECOME RESPONSIBLE MEN.
