About 🪢

 ROOTS&ROPES was born from a simple truth: too many boys are growing up without strong male role models, and it shows — in their confidence, their choices, and their sense of belonging. We’re here to change that. Founded in Cape Town, ROOTS&ROPES offers mentorship, life skills, and emotional support to help boys reconnect with their identity and build resilience. We don’t preach. We guide. Through workshops, storytelling, and hands-on learning, we help young men grow roots that ground them — and ropes that lift them. This isn’t just a nonprofit. It’s a movement. One that starts with truth, builds with trust, and ends with transformation.

our story
🪢 Our Story ROOTS&ROPES began with a quiet ache — the kind you feel when you watch boys grow up without the guidance they deserve. In homes, in classrooms, in communities, too many young men are left to figure life out alone. And the cost is written in their choices, their silence, and their struggle to belong. As a mother, I saw it in my own boys. As a woman in my community, I saw it everywhere. So I stopped waiting for someone else to fix it — and started building something that could. ROOTS&ROPES is a movement born from lived experience. We offer mentorship, emotional support, and practical life skills to help boys grow roots that ground them and ropes that lift them. We don’t rescue. We reconnect. We remind them they were never broken — just waiting to be seen. This is our story. And it’s only just beginning

our vision

🌱 Our Vision To restore identity, confidence, and purpose in boys who’ve grown up without strong male role models — by grounding them in truth, guiding them with mentorship, and equipping them with life skills that last. ROOTS&ROPES envisions a generation of young men who are rooted in self-worth and tied to values that uplift their families, communities, and futures.
OUR MISSION
