"Nkanda" is a term used in some cultures in Africa to refer to a traditional initiation school or ceremony for boys transitioning to manhood. During nkanda, young boys are taught important cultural values, customs, and skills by elders in the community. It is a significant rite of passage that marks the beginning of adulthood for boys in those cultures.
