The International Day of the Boy Child, observed on May 16, is dedicated to recognizing and addressing the unique needs and challenges boys face as they grow into men. In celebration of this year's event, the team from Empower Her for Sustainable Development Initiatives in Africa visited the Government Secondary School in the Apo Resettlement area of Abuja to support the male students.

A notable moment was an interview with a student who shared his experience meeting the founder of Empower Her for Sustainable Development Initiatives in Africa. He expressed that the NGO gave him hope by re-enrolling him in school after he had dropped out. Many other boys are also seeing their dreams come alive through the support of Empower Her for Sustainable Development Initiatives in Africa.
