Vision2030
Our Vision2030
By 2030, Boys Champions will be the leading organisation in West Africa engaging boys and men for gender equality. We will operate across all Nigerian states and expand into five additional African countries, guided by research that drives continent-wide policy on masculinity. Our network of 10,000 DearMen Fellows will carry the work into communities we cannot reach directly.

- Grow from 2 cities to 12 states
Depth

- Achieve a 50% reduction in GBV acceptance among programme participants
Mental Health
- Deliver psychosocial support to at least 10,000 boys and men

Research
- Lead continental research on the state of boys and men in Africa

How we are Creating Change
Our DearMen Fellowship is building a national network of male allies who carry this work into communities we cannot reach directly.
Through advocacy, we are embedding gender-transformative approaches into schools, institutions, and public systems, ensuring long-term change.

Fund Our Work
Every boy who goes through a Boys Champions programme is a boy who has been given an alternative story about who he can become. Your donation funds that story, the facilitator who tells it, the school that opens its doors, and the helpline that answers at 2 am when a boy does not know where else to turn.
