A Note From Our Founder 

I started the BoyzNextDoor Foundation because I’ve seen, lived, and felt what it’s like to grow up in environments where guidance is missing. Too many boys are told to “be a man” without being shown how, and that gap leads to broken dreams, toxic choices, and missed potentials.

At BND, we step into that gap.

We offer brotherhood. Real talk. Mentorship. Camps that build confidence. Outreach sessions that spark reflection. Coding lessons that open new doors. We’re not just trying to save boys; we’re helping raise men who’ll save themselves and others.

This work is deeply personal to me. It’s rooted in my own journey, and it’s powered by young mentors, educators, and everyday heroes who believe that boys matter.

Thank you for being part of this mission, whether you’re a supporter, teacher, parent, or a boy trying to find your way. You belong here.

Warmly,
Mandlaenkosi Diki
Founder & Director, BoyzNextDoor Foundation
