The organization was founded by Dr. Otisetimeyin “Oti” Esimaje and Dr. David Toby in 2006 and registered in 2008. The organization seeks to reach out through the cracks, to people in society. We focus on capacity building through our multiple programme for boys, young men and fathers helping them acquire positive life ,leadership and parenting skills.
The idea for the foundation was sparked as they were both employed at the Port of Spain General Hospital. We offer counseling, access to high-quality educational opportunities, mentoring and financial support services, which are provided free of cost to all our participants.
At the hospital they would encounter young males in the lower socio-economic bracket who desperately lacked career guidance and positive youth development.
When they realized that men are central causes of many societal problems: and most institutions have barely made provision to address these issues. They wondered what impact might be made if young adult men and fathers were immersed in the cultures of responsible fatherhood and entrepreneurship for a few hours a week, over a short 3-4 month period.
