BOULDER, Colo. — At age 21, Tatenda Muchiriri founded the Machapro Boys Club in his home village in Zimbabwe, with the goal of changing the way African men view and treat women.
It was a revolutionary idea there.
"I've heard of people doing programs with young women to empower them to take care of their bodies, take care of themselves and prevent AIDS from affecting them," said Robin Truesdale, a University of Colorado graduate who met Muchiriri on a 2006 trip to Zimbabwe. "But I've never met a young man who was interested in approaching it from the male angle, and I just found that fascinating."
