Who we are
The Boy Child Foundation is a non-profit organisation that seeks to inspire young men and provides them with mentorship programmes and workshops. TBCF provides access, guidance and support through structured platforms, activities and tools; that deliver effective and fit-for-purpose role modelling, life-skills development & mentorship.
Born out of a concern about the issues facing young men and their surrounding ecosystem Mentor a Boy Child was co-founded in 2007. TBCF exists to provide good role models to as many boys and young men in disadvantaged communities by eliminating gaps in their opportunities and outcomes. TBCF brings together the leaders in communities who can give back and help grow responsible and principled men. We believe that one of the biggest deterrents of mental progress is the lack of exposure to life option and access to mentorship and guidance that can inspire our young boys to become better MEN. This organisation was founded by people Mr John Karanja Nyingi who collided through life’s fate, and happened to share a passion for changing the perceptions and perspectives of men in the long term in our society.

- To establish partnership with NGOs and corporate institutions that would enable us to achieve and implement our goals.
- To create opportunities for some of the boys to take up internship opportunities with regards to NGO activities therefore achieving the much needed impact.
