Who We Are
Who We Are
Raise A Man is an organization focused on addressing critical gaps affecting adolescent boys and young men, including mental health challenges, harmful gender norms, limited life skills, lack of safe spaces, and inadequate access to sexual and reproductive health education in our communities.
Our approach is preventative, gender-transformative, and scalable - designed to reduce risk behaviors, promote wellbeing, and build a generation of responsible resilient young men who contribute positively to society.
We partner across the public, private, and social sectors to reach and impact more communities through health, economic, and social empowerment programs, equiping individuals with knowledge and skills to seek transformation in their communities, and wider society.
To influence healthy masculinity, Economic, and Social well-being to restore hope and dignity of our communities in informal settlements.
A society that is free from violence and crime, where every young man is emotionally healthy, responsible, and empowered to lead positive change.
Why Raise A Man?
In many communities, boys are raised to be strong - but not supported to be well.
They are told to lead - but not taught how.
To provide - but not prepared for life.
To stay silent - even when they are struggling.
Behind that silence are young men facing pressure, confusion, and emotional challenges with little guidance.
Raise A Man exists to change that story.
We create safe spaces where young men can speak, learn, and grow - where they are equipped with the tools to understand themselves, make responsible choices, and build healthy relationships.
When you raise a boy with the right support, you don’t just change his life - you change families, communities, and the future.
