With an estimated 70% of South African children growing up in single-parent homes and 4 out of 5 boys lacking a consistent, positive male role model, the need for positive change is urgent.\u00a0 Broken masculinity is associated with the country\u2019s high rates of gender-based violence, crime, gangsterism, substance abuse and other mental disorders. Too often, the life of a fatherless boy is marked by school absenteeism, poor educational outcomes and lack of opportunities to excel in other areas such as sports, arts and social interactions.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1259124\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1259124\" style=\"width: 420px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-1259124\" src=\"https:\/\/caxtondigital.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2023\/12\/124840848_1749993761823412_6600080254875937130_o-420x560.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"560\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1259124\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image supplied by TTC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>TCC runs a countrywide mentorship programme connecting fatherless boys with volunteer male mentors who help to instill in them values such as kindness, honesty, respect, courage and self-discipline over a long-term relationship. The programme includes boys frequently meeting up with their mentor and participating in healthy, outdoors-based events such as weekend camps and adventure trips.<\/p>\n<p>Research underscores the effectiveness of mentorship in altering the life trajectory of disadvantaged youth. A healthy mentor relationship has been shown to improve behaviour, enhance relationship-building skills, and positively impact school attendance and academic results. These are effects that last a lifetime as mentor relationships play a significant role in the development of interpersonal skills, a growth mind-set and self-mastery.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1259130\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1259130\" style=\"width: 420px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-1259130\" src=\"https:\/\/caxtondigital.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2023\/12\/25358552_915107941978669_5477314748116272325_o-420x236.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"236\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1259130\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image supplied by TTC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Founder and CEO of TCC Jaco van Schalkwyk says: \u201cOur goal is to turn the tide against the culture of violence in South Africa by helping to raise boys to be good men.
