DR Congo: World Vision's Men Care Approach Is Transforming Male Roles For the Benefit of Families
In DRC, World Vision is helping transform traditional gender roles through its Men Care approach, supported by Aktion Deutschland Hilft (ADH). The programme trains community facilitators who lead discussions with fathers on positive parenting, shared household responsibilities, girls’ education, and non-violent family relationships. In its first phase, 660 men from Nyangezi and Nyantende participated. The initiative is already producing visible changes in families, with many men becoming more involved in domestic tasks, communication, and childcare. By encouraging fathers to play a more active and supportive role at home, World Vision aims to strengthen families, reduce domestic tensions, and create safer, more nurturing environments for children.
