KEY CONCERN & ESSENCE OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION ON THE BOY CHILD.
Who We Are
Chiconet at its inception Started its operations focusing on people with disabilities.
In 2024, seeing the pressing need in the community, we decided to change our focus to the most un-catered for group in the community which is the Boy-child.
The Boy-child, especially in the slums are a neglected lot and ill-equipped to deal with the present life conditions and is ill equipped to peacefully co-exist with the girl who have been empowered and continue to be empowered whereas the boy-child is totally neglected. This is one of the causes of conflict and unrest in the society. Changing focus will thus add value in addressing the already pressing need and will in turn lead to a more equitable and peaceful global society.
