In this AfriCanadaTv interview with Madam Agnes Mwagi, representing the Dorcas Rigathi Foundation, the focus is on the Boy Child Program, a cause aimed at addressing the challenges faced by young boys in Kenya and beyond. Madam Mwagi emphasizes the need to support and uplift the boy child to create a balanced and prosperous society.
The Boy Child Program seeks to address issues such as alcoholism, drug addiction, homelessness, and lack of education among young boys in Kenya. These challenges are seen as hindrances to the development of a healthy and thriving generation. Madam Mwagi underscores the importance of saving the boy child as a means to improve the overall well-being of families and society as a whole.
She highlights some key issues, such as the absence of kindergartens and early education for boys due to alcoholism, as well as the impact of substance abuse on families and communities. Madam Mwagi calls for collective action, involving the Canadian government, Kenyan diaspora, and various organizations, to support this cause.
The interview touches on various ways individuals and organizations can contribute, including adopting a boy child, sponsoring football tournaments and rehabilitation programs, and providing support in the form of mentorship. Madam Mwagi also expresses optimism about expanding the program internationally, emphasizing that it’s a global issue.
In conclusion, the interview emphasizes the urgency of addressing the challenges faced by the boy child and calls for support from Canadians, both within and outside the Kenyan diaspora, to make a positive impact on the lives of young boys and, by extension, society as a whole.
