In most African homes however, when people are asked to regulate how much responsibility to give to a child, they think the children are being lazy.

Many men who become fathers today grew up without positive father figures. This absence of good role models often leads to difficulties in parenting. Without examples of nurturing and supportive fatherhood, some men lack the knowledge or understanding of how to effectively care for and guide their children.

The earth is seen as God’s creation, and humanity is tasked with its responsible management.
As we step into 2025, it’s a time to reflect and rethink the path ahead.
