Problem Statement

Children and young people are affected by vast societal influences both positive and negative. It is our desire to help them to brainstorm both in plenary and at individual levels how to use positive peer pressure to overcome negative peer pressure(s) thereby creating a conducive and consistent environment for character, mental and skills development.

Children in our present day context are growing in a very noisy environment where the major pre-occupation for parents and guardians is finding money, with less time dedicated to the children’s welfare and safety. Most of the children suffer rejection, indecision, abuse, which leads them to pursue hopeless channels of survival. Rape cases are on the rise, prostitution and crime have become the order of the day.

As such, we believe as Christians, we should nurture our fellow young people, because if we lose a generation to the devil, we would have lost a further four generations ahead.

Therefore, BOC-YP seeks to take back the young people to God by giving them an alternative, more fulfilling way of living.
