Kenyan Ambassador Fights for Boychild Rights

Rev Dorcas Rjgathi: Empowering Kenya's Boychild One at a Time Kenya, May 22, 2025 – In a rural Kenyan setting, Rev Dorcas Rjgathi shares her dedication to empowering boys and combating substance abuse. Her work, which includes ICT training and rehabilitation programs, highlights the significant need for mentorship and equal rights for boys. "The problem has been that many boys were brought up without love, nurturing, or mentorship," Rjgathi explains. "When they grow up, they want to be leaders and husbands, but they don't know how to love because they haven't been taught." Rjgathi's initiative currently supports around 450 boys through various programs. She describes the positive impact of her work, noting that many of the boys are now employed and contributing to society. Her commitment underscores the importance of addressing the unique challenges faced by boys in Kenya and the transformative power of dedicated mentorship. This initiative serves as a beacon of hope, demonstrating the positive change achievable through focused efforts to support and empower the boychild.
