Supporting African Men to Thrive in Scotland
Why Join us
There are countless benefits to joining the men’s group. Benefits can vary from one person to another. Here are some of the most common benefits for members:
Fatherhood Empowerment Program
This initiative would focus on the importance of fatherhood, providing members with tools to foster healthy relationships with their children. It would encompass workshops on effective communication, understanding child development, and emotional management.
Career and Entrepreneurship Development
By partnering with local businesses and institutions, we can facilitate seminars and workshops on resume building, interview skills, entrepreneurship, and financial management. This would also provide a platform for members to network and possibly gain mentors in their fields of interest.
Cultural Exchange and Integration Program
This initiative would be designed to foster a greater understanding between the Scottish public and the African Men’s Tribe. Activities might include cultural showcases featuring African arts, music, and food, as well as discussions and collaborations that bridge cultural gaps.
Mental Health and Well-being Program

Advocacy and Legal Literacy Program
Aiming to educate members on their legal rights and responsibilities within Scotland, providing information on immigration law, employment rights, and other relevant topics. Collaborations with local law firms or law schools could provide pro bono consultation clinics.
Health and Fitness Initiative
Regular physical activities, health awareness campaigns, and nutritional workshops would help members to maintain physical well-being and understand the importance of a balanced diet and regular exercise.
Community Event and Mentorship Program
Pairing new arrivals with established community members can guide them through the nuances of life in Scotland, providing support in areas such as local customs, language nuances, job hunting, and navigating public services.
Civic Engagement and Leadership Program
