About MEN OF HONOUR

Ordinary Men
Doing Extraordinary Things

Men of Honour is a youth-led non-profit organization dedicated to fostering community development through the promotion of male involvement and engagement, emphasizing the essential role of boys and men in advancing this agenda. Men of Honour was founded with the purpose of addressing and responding to community challenges. Our overarching goal is to support the government's efforts by promoting young people, especially boys and men, as catalysts for positive change. We recognize the significant role that young individuals can play in preventing and addressing various community issues such as drug and substance abuse, gender-based violence, sexual violence against women and children (including child marriages, neglect, and exploitation), crime, and poverty, among others.

To effectively tackle these challenges, Men of Honour provides a platform for mentorship and coaching for adolescents and young people. Through this approach, we aim to instill values, skills, and knowledge that shape young individuals into responsible members of society as they transition into adulthood. We have observed that many young men grow up without positive male role models to guide them through the process of understanding true manhood. This is often due to fathers abandoning their children and families or neglecting their parental duties even when they are present. Consequently, these young individuals face pain, anger, and distorted perceptions of manhood prevalent in society. They encounter numerous challenges within their communities that hinder them from becoming responsible and successful adults. Some drop out of school, others fall into substance abuse and become known as "junkies" who roam the streets, markets, and bus stations. Some become abusive husbands and fathers, while others turn to a life of crime, ultimately ending up in correctional facilities.

It is against this background that Men of Honour derives its inspiration and reason for existence. We firmly believe that behavioural change is a pivotal process in addressing the challenges outlined above. Therefore, we focus on intervening at an early stage, moulding young people into responsible and law- abiding citizens who can contribute positively to their communities.

Our Motivation

Why We Do What We Do

A lot of young men and adolescents are growing up without male adult role models to guide them through the process of understanding what it truly means to be a man. This is mostly so because most fathers abandon their children/families, and even when they are present most times they leave the duty of parenting to their wives. Therefore, most of these young people grow up dealing with/nursing pain and anger coupled with all the wrong perceptions of manhood portrayed in society. They struggle with so many challenges in their communities that prevent them from becoming responsible and successful when they grow older. Some of them drop out of school, some become junkies (excessive drug and substance users) roaming the markets and streets, others become abusive husbands and fathers while others commit all sorts of crime and end up in prison. Men of Honour exists for this cause. We understand that behavioural change is key to most of the challenges outlined hence we deal with these issues at an early stage by implementing interventions aimed at molding boys and young men into responsible and law-abiding members of society.
