Karniel Kachinelorum Idoko

Karniel is a 10 year old pupil of The River Bank School Victoria Island Lagos. How it started: he has a sister and mum who are both social entrepreneurs; he just couldn't sit back and do nothing when he keeps hearing at home about what men in Africa mete out to women and girls in the name of culture and socialization.

After seeing and hearing of women who are maltreated by men, he decided to inspire change among African boys.

He believes that it is vital to socialize and involve boys from early age and therefore desires to use lifecycle and educational based strategies to help boys formulate positive attitudes and behaviours, thus avoiding the need to invest in the difficult task of changing fixed behaviours later in life.
