ChiYoWo Celebrating Boys on International Boy Child Day
At Children, Youth and Women (ChiYoWo) Empowerment Initiative, we believe that a boy today is a leader, father, and change maker tomorrow! The values we instill in our boys shape the men they become and the future they help build.
Boys are curious, resilient, and full of potential, but they need guidance, love, and encouragement to grow into confident, compassionate, and responsible individuals.
This year’s theme, “Boys of Honour,” reminds us all parents, guardians, educators, and mentors that every boy deserves the support to become a man of integrity, kindness, and strength.
By teaching emotional intelligence, modelling respect, and fostering inclusion, we are empowering boys to become:
✔ Confident leaders
✔ Caring partners
✔ Responsible fathers
✔ Compassionate citizens
At ChiYoWo, we are committed to investing in the next generation, showing our boys that we believe in them, value their dreams, and care about their well-being.
Happy International Boy Child Day! To every boy out there you are seen, you are celebrated, you are extraordinary.
