We do this through our learning/mentorship models that BUILD, FORGE & help them D.E.C.I.D.E. Yazua Afrika is a leadership development firm that focuses on young men with the aim of raising transformative agents of change while guiding them as they transition from boyhood to manhood. We have a vision to see the state of the boy transformed in this country and the continent; him leading from the front with CHARACTER and VALUES as he plays out his(21st century) roles in society. We believe that the future of the continent is largely dependent on the state of the boy; if he is lost? We realize that ‘The Future’ is what our young men are offering today. To see the green, lush and beautiful Savannah of Africa's potential we need our sons to be strong, creative, innovative and entrepreneurial in all their actions. We need them to think exponentially

A boy needs voices around him worth trusting: parents, mentors, teachers, and friends. People who challenge him, encourage him, and tell him the truth.
Because one day, no one may be there to tell him which way to go.

We want to help him build an internal compass strong enough to find his way.

The voices around him today help shape the voice within him tomorrow.

When your son questions, as every boy does... does he encounter curiosity or rigid firm unresponsive positions?

Does his challenge meet a space where exploration and agency is nurtured?

FORGED FRIDAYS | FORMATION

Are we doing everything we can to raise young men who lead, take initiative and stand for what is just or are we hoping good men will magically appear from nothing?

Men are MADE, and like an old friend of mine likes to say, the only raw material required to Make a man is a boy.

The lessons, experiences, challenges, community, love, support, family and lessons available around your growing boy will determine the man he becomes. Take time to choose with care and intention.

Happy FORGED FRIDAYS... grab today's Daily Nation to read more.

What could your son teach you?

We spend a lot of time teaching our boys. Every now and then, let him be the expert.

Ask questions, get it wrong, let him correct you. Be genuinely curious.

You may be learning about a game, an artist or a hobby.
But what he may be hearing is: the things that matter to me matter to you too.

Every group teaches a boy something.
What earns approval. What attracts ridicule. What receives respect. What gets him excluded.

The communities our boys belong to don’t just give them a place to fit in. They help shape who they become.

Eric Mungai explores this in his latest piece for the Daily Nation: Before they become men, boys need a place to belong.

FORGED iDEAS

We often ask boys to be resilient without giving them enough opportunities to become resilient.

We want them to handle disappointment, make difficult decisions, take responsibility, recover from failure and stand steady when life becomes uncertain. Yet in our efforts to protect them, we can quietly remove many of the experiences through which those capacities are formed.

Resilience does not arrive fully formed. It develops in the space between challenge and support.

A boy learns something about himself when he is trusted with responsibility that matters. When something does not go according to plan. When he has to ask for help without feeling diminished by it. When he fails and discovers that failure has not made him less worthy. When the adults around him resist the temptation to immediately solve the problem and instead stay close enough for him to find his way through it.

This raises a more important question for those of us raising and developing boys:

What kinds of difficulty are worth exposing them to?

Because difficulty is not automatically developmental. Some experiences wound. Others enlarge us. The work of adults is partly to know the difference, and then to create environments where boys can encounter challenge without encountering it alone.

Perhaps our task is not to make childhood easier.

Perhaps it is to make it meaningful enough for boys to grow through it.

This weekend, FORGED iDEAS explores what happens when we stop treating challenge as something boys simply have to survive, and begin seeing it as part of how they are formed.

Boys are watching.

At home, on the street, on TV and online, they are encountering different versions of what it means to be a man. Some they may question. Some they may reject. Some they may mirror.

So who is helping them make sense of what they see?

Eric Mungai explores this in his latest piece for the Daily Nation, “The Crisis of Manhood: Who will teach our boys what it means to be a man?”

Who is your son watching and learning from?

Boys are small sponges, they take in everything they are exposed to, and finding positive models to expose them to is one of a parents greatest responsibilities.

Who is he learning from and what more can do you to give him a blueprint for life, masculinity and leadership?
