African Men Care exists to unlock opportunity and awaken transcendence in every African child through the unshakable power of education. We believe that to be Black, young, gifted, and free, yet stripped of opportunity, is a cruel illusion, and to deny that opportunity is not only wrong, but a wound against the future.
We open opportunities for every African child through education and mentorship, while intentionally supporting boys so no one is left behind in the journey towards equality.
We support talented children, especially boys, from vulnerable backgrounds to access education from Grade 0 through to graduation.
Our support includes bursaries, uniforms, transport funding, and monthly stipends, along with psychological and educational guidance.
We work closely with families, schools, and social workers, providing active mentorship and guardianship to help learners overcome challenges and complete their studies with a tertiary qualification.
We open opportunities for every African child through education and mentorship, while intentionally supporting boys so no one is left behind in the journey towards equality.
Over the years, we’ve seen that many boys in South Africa are being left behind academically, socially, and emotionally. That’s why we’ve added a focus on Social Fatherhood.
In South Africa, around 64.5% of children do not live with their biological fathers, a reality that shows how widespread father absence is in our country and how many boys lack male role models at home.
We connect boys with positive male role models, mentors and caring adults, because having consistent, supportive men in their lives can make a powerful difference. Through this, we aim to help close the gap and support boys to thrive.
