Description: Precious Omelu is a passionate advocate for Boy Education and the founder of For My Boys Initiative, a growing movement she started at just fifteen to help boys find direction, confidence, and purpose. Through her organization, Precious has reached and supported over 700 boys across schools and communities through programs that focus on mentorship, emotional intelligence, and leadership. From Beyond the Desk, which helps struggling students reconnect with learning, to other community-driven projects that build empathy and life skills, her work consistently redefines what inclusive education looks like for boys. In 2025, Precious was recognized as an Ashoka Young Changemaker, a testament to her leadership in reimagining how society supports boys in their formative years. Her approach bridges mentorship, education, and Change-making, creating spaces where boys are not only taught but truly seen and understood. What fuels her is simple: she has watched too many boys fade into the background because no one paused to understand them. Through her work, Precious is changing that story, proving that when boys are guided with care, they rise, and when they rise, the world rises with them.
