The FAN Champions are ready to kick off the Alexandra Mentor Camp this weekend, where 60 influential men from Alex will embark on the transformational Champions for Change mentorship programme. Against the backdrop of the untamed Magaliesberg bush, participants will engage in team-building activities, forge deep bonds of brotherhood, and step into their roles as true Community Champions! 🏆💪🏾 This powerful event is part of a dedicated community intervention focused on ending #genderbasedviolence and fostering lasting change by raising up a generation of men who live with positive, life-giving masculinity.  #championsforchange #positivemasculinity #endgbv #communitydevelopment #nonprofitleadership #socialresponsibility

Snaps from one of our #16DaysofActivism events at the Sekwanele Shelter, introducing their Men’s Programme and an action plan to combat GBVF and domestic violence. Men from all walks of life including members of the City of Johannesburg Council, faith-based organisations, social development and peace-building organisations, as well as members of Sekwanele shelter gathered to discuss the role of men in society and how men can heal, rediscover and live out the gift of positive masculinity in communities.  FAN Project co-ordinator Zizipho Mtwesi spearheaded the conversation, which was very well received and sparked hunger for more amongst the men. The day ended in a declaration and participants signing a charter as a commitment to intentionally promote and bring positive masculinity into their communities and stand against any form of abuse. Together we are building a safer, beautiful future! 🇿🇦 #positivemasculinity #genderbasedviolence #EndGBV #socialresponsibility #championsforchange #mensmentalhealth #fatheranation #raisinggoodmen #raisingagreatnation

FAN mentor Themba Ntuli with soccer legends Bernard Parker and Happy Jele at the Champions for Change press workshop held in KZN this week! Members of the press were taken through the anti-GBV #ChampionsforChange course by Themba and handed their certificates by a beaming Happy and Bernard, ambassadors for the cause. The vibrant event was not only a strong end to 16 Days of Activism, but a prelude to a broader programme to be run with the PSL players in collaboration with #NoExcuse, Father A Nation (NGO) and Cloud Therapist. The programme will focus on becoming a champion on and off the field, highlighting the importance of mental health as a man and a player, using the privilege of fame and influence to be an excellent role model, and becoming a 365-day activist against GBV. We are honoured to be working with such excellent brands and organisations to impact men in every corner of South Africa, spreading the power of positive masculinity!

"Men suffering from issues with depression, anger, anxiety, a sense of uselessness, low self-esteem generally tend to behave differently to women, in the sense that they become destructive - to themselves or others." - Craig Wilkinson #mensmentalhealth #genderbasedviolence #16DaysofActivism Read the full article below:

#16DaysOfActivism | Catch me live on Expresso Show at 7:10am this morning. I’ll be discussing the recent major HSRC (Human Sciences Research Council) study that linked a men’s mental health crisis to the high rates of gender-based violence (GBV) in South Africa, and how we need to urgently heal and restore men to end GBV in our nation. 🇿🇦 #EndGBV #mensmentalhealth #positivemasculinity #genderbasedviolence #genderequality #wellness #mentalhealthawareness

#16DaysofActivism | Men need to unite to stop gender-based violence before it starts, rather than wait until it enters their own home. Take a stand now! #EndGBV #positivemasculinity #nonprofit #wellness #genderbasedviolence #GBV #noexcuse
