The Boy Child Advancement and Protection Foundation (BCAPF) is a non-governmental, non-profit, legally registered global organization dedicated to the comprehensive development of young boys aged 5 to 18 years. We operate under the principles of social responsibility, inclusivity, and collaboration, with a focus on equipping young boys with essential life skills, education, mentorship, and opportunities for self-expression.

Our vision is to create a world where every young boy, no matter where he comes from or his circumstances, has the chance to achieve his best. We see a society where boys aged 5 to 18 years are supported and guided as they grow into well-rounded individuals who excel academically, emotionally, and socially; so that they become catalysts for the positive development of their communities and the world.

Our mission is to help boys aged 5 to 18 years grow into confident, caring, and capable individuals. Through the provision of life skills, education, mentorship, and creative activities, we aim to equip them with the tools to face challenges, make a positive impact, and contribute to their communities and the world.

The boy child is confronted with a worldwide crisis that requires immediate attention. Young boys are currently exposed to a multitude of detrimental influences due to the precarious social and economic environment in which they find themselves. Various challenges such as poverty, hunger, illiteracy, inequality, substance abuse, child labor, forced migration, terrorism, child soldiering, trafficking, neglect, abuse, social vices, banditry, and kidnapping now significantly impede the progress and realization of the boy child's potential.

Some countries' governmental policies are either poor or non-existent, discouraging investment for productivity and focusing only on taxation, which stifles the economy and causes poverty. This disorients families, forcing boys to fend for themselves early in life and often leading them into societal vices. Governments should aim at good governance that encourages investment for maximum productivity.

Additionally, some countries do not prioritize the education of the boy child. For example, in Nigeria, over 680,000 boys in Kaduna state, over 500,000 in Gombe, and over 14,000 in Enugu state are out of school. This hampers their potential to contribute positively to their country's development and often leads to depression and negative vices such as banditry, kidnapping, drug addiction, religious fundamentalism, organ selling, and harvesting, like the reported kidney organ harvest in Mararaba, Abuja, Nigeria.

Furthermore, some countries' policies do not support the employment of educated or skilled boys, leaving them hungry, angry, and frustrated, and more likely to be lured into vices for survival.

BCAFP is partnering with global organizations, governments, communities, corporate organizations, NGOs, and individuals for purpose-built initiatives that can aid young boys in navigating the unique challenges they encounter in various aspects of life.

Wars are rampant in many parts of the world, causing child soldiering and displacement of boys into IDP camps. Many of these young boys have lost their parents in wars and are prone to societal vices. BCAFP is partnering with global organizations and governments to promote peace and end wars worldwide, saving boys from the calamities of conflict.

Communities around the world need moral or civic education to guide the boy child's behavior towards progress. BCAFP will partner with global organizations, governments, corporate organizations, and religious bodies to share books and advocate for the right orientation for boys that will help develop their communities.

Many young boys are brainwashed into religious fundamentalism, phobia, color, or racial hatred, resulting in violence and deaths. BCAFP will partner with global organizations, governments, corporate organizations, and religious bodies to end such indoctrination.

We firmly believe that all children, regardless of their ethnic origin or socio-economic background, are entitled to survival, protection, a high-quality education, and a decent childhood.

There is a significant need for purpose-built initiatives that can aid young boys in navigating the unique challenges they encounter in various aspects of life. Today, young boys' lives have been further complicated by social, educational, and emotional vulnerability, which have been exacerbated by recent adversities such as COVID-19 and the resulting high cost of living.

BCAFP is set up to address these challenges by developing programs and a global environment in which every young boy, irrespective of his background or situation, is afforded the opportunity to excel. We envision a society in which boys aged five to eighteen are guided and supported as they develop into socially, emotionally, and academically accomplished individuals.

In order to accomplish this, we are mobilizing individuals and stakeholders to accept the challenge of mitigating the effects of environmental and societal adversities on young boys through mentorship, life skills, and advocacy. We utilize available social, economic, and cultural capital to assist young boys in realizing their maximum capabilities. Through our global-wide advocacy, our objective is to motivate and enable young boys to surmount obstacles, value diversity, exercise empathy in their leadership, and emerge as engaged participants in the construction of a more promising and all-encompassing future.
