It is in giving that we receive…!
And in the words of music legend – Lucky Dube, “Blessed is the hand that giveth, than the one that taketh”.
Volunteering in itself is an act of giving and investment. And from that comes your future open doors, learning, understanding, and gifts. By volunteering, we give back to society in different ways.
We hope to unravel these and many more and realistically show you why you should volunteer in projects and programs today.
Plan to join us as we mark International Volunteers Day (IVD) 2023.

TAPA’s Pan-African Celebration of International Men’s Day 2023: Fostering Health, Wellbeing, and Community Engagement
The Adams Project Africa (TAPA) is set to embark on a significant journey to celebrate International Men’s Day 2023 across various locations in Africa. This year’s theme, “Healthy Men, Healthy World,” underscores the importance of men’s health and wellbeing in shaping thriving communities. With a specific focus on “Zero Male Suicide,” TAPA aims to shed light on the mental health challenges faced by men and boys. This blog post delves into the pan-African events organized by TAPA, emphasizing the diversity of locations and the collective effort to promote a healthier, happier world.
The Significance of International Men’s Day:
International Men’s Day, celebrated annually on November 19, provides an opportunity to recognize and appreciate men’s contributions to society. It also serves as a platform to address issues affecting men’s health, promote positive masculinity, and foster gender equality. TAPA’s commitment to commemorating this day across Africa reflects its dedication to advancing the wellbeing of men and boys.
Event Locations: A Pan-African Affair:
TAPA’s International Men’s Day 2023 celebration spans across diverse locations, highlighting the organization’s commitment to reaching communities far and wide. The chosen cities are not only geographically distinct but also culturally rich, representing the unique tapestry of Africa’s societies.

Maiduri, Borno State:
– Located in northeastern Nigeria, Maiduri sets the stage for TAPA’s engagement in a region with its unique challenges and triumphs.
Uyo, AkwaIbom State:
– The celebration extends to the southern part of Nigeria, with Uyo in AkwaIbom State hosting an event that resonates with the vibrant culture of the region.
Ibadan, Oyo State:
– Nestled in the southwestern part of Nigeria, Ibadan brings a rich historical and cultural context to TAPA’s International Men’s Day celebration.
Lagos:
– As one of Africa’s most populous and dynamic cities, Lagos provides a bustling backdrop for TAPA’s initiatives, capturing the essence of urban life.
Zaria, Kaduna State:
– Moving to northern Nigeria, Zaria in Kaduna State adds another layer of diversity to the events, addressing the unique needs of the community.
Markurdi, Benue State:
– In central Nigeria, Markurdi offers a setting that combines tradition and modernity, reflecting the dualities of contemporary African life.
Monrovia, Liberia:
– Crossing borders, TAPA’s celebration reaches Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, emphasizing the pan-African nature of the organization’s efforts.
Uganda:
– In East Africa, Uganda becomes a focal point for TAPA, as the organization expands its reach to address men’s health and wellbeing in a different cultural context.
Greater Accra, Ghana:
– The celebration continues its westward journey, landing in Greater Accra, Ghana, where TAPA engages with the vibrant culture of this coastal region.
Volta Region, Ghana:
– Finally, TAPA wraps up its pan-African celebration in the Volta Region of Ghana, completing a journey that spans the diversity of the African continent.

The TAPA Approach:
TAPA’s approach to International Men’s Day goes beyond a one-size-fits-all model. Each location presents unique challenges and opportunities, and TAPA tailors its events to address the specific needs of the communities involved. Whether in the urban landscape of Lagos or the more rural setting of Markurdi, TAPA’s commitment to fostering positive change remains unwavering.
Embracing Diversity:
One of the key strengths of TAPA’s International Men’s Day celebration lies in its recognition of the diversity present across the African continent. From the bustling streets of Lagos to the serene landscapes of the Volta Region, TAPA acknowledges that each location contributes to the rich tapestry of African culture and experience. This diversity is not only celebrated but also informs the organization’s approach to addressing men’s health and wellbeing.
The Sub-Theme: Zero Male Suicide:
TAPA’s emphasis on “Zero Male Suicide” reflects a deep concern for the mental health of men and boys. Suicide remains a significant public health issue globally, and TAPA aims to raise awareness, promote dialogue, and provide resources to address this critical issue. The events in each location will include discussions, interactive sessions, and initiatives aimed at destigmatizing mental health challenges and encouraging help-seeking behavior.
Community Engagement and Empowerment:
Beyond the specific activities planned for each location, TAPA’s International Men’s Day celebration is rooted in community engagement and empowerment. The organization recognizes that sustainable change comes from within communities, and therefore, the events are designed to foster a sense of collective responsibility for men’s health and wellbeing.
A Glimpse into TAPA’s Liberia Event:
As a highlight, the celebration in Monrovia, Liberia, is set to take place at the Revival Community School. The event will kick off at 2 PM, providing an afternoon filled with meaningful activities. The venue, located behind Saah Store in Block “C” of Montserrado County, symbolizes TAPA’s commitment to reaching communities and schools to engage with young boys and men.
TAPA’s pan-African celebration of International Men’s Day 2023 is a testament to the organization’s dedication to making a meaningful impact across diverse communities. From Maiduri to the Volta Region, TAPA’s events seek to promote health, wellbeing, and community engagement. The theme of “Healthy Men, Healthy World” resonates throughout, with a focused effort on addressing the sub-theme of “Zero Male Suicide.” As TAPA navigates the varied landscapes and cultures of Africa, its message remains clear: together, we can achieve a healthier, happier world for men and boys.
