The Beginning

It all started with a simple observation: African Muslim youth possess incredible potential but lack proper guidance and mentorship. We began documenting the dreams and ambitions of 90 public school students in Ibadan.

2025

Program Testing & Development

We successfully conducted the Boys-to-Men BootCamp, proving our methodology works. The overwhelming positive response confirmed the urgent need for our programs across Africa.
