About US
In 2019, we embarked on a journey fuelled by a vision to empower young boys and adolescents to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and resilience. This vision gave birth to Debra’s Palace Initiative, a non-governmental organisation dedicated to nurturing the potential of young adults and guiding them toward a path of positivity and productivity.
Since its inception, Debra’s Palace Initiative has been committed to addressing societal challenges young men face through the ‘Boy Child Conversation’ Project. The cornerstone of our efforts has been the organisation of three impactful conferences, school tours, and creative programs each aimed at providing a platform for dialogue, learning, and inspiration.
