Bosco leads the groups and performs different activities including counseling them, training them in savings and credit management, HIV and aids awareness creation, and among others formed up music and dramawith the purpose to ease dissemination of information and easy understanding

Bosco emphasizes that development is meant for all, and thus believes that all the disadvantaged should be uplifted such that they are able to live an improved quality of life. Among the groups he trains, The LubangaLapitKic Women group have been inspired from the trainings and some of them have joined tailoring schools to acquire the skills for a living.

The women group also mobilizes young orphans and train them in Music Dance and Drama carrying important message regarding HIV and aids awareness, savings and credit management and about self reliance and participatory development. These children are always guided and hired on functions to present to the communities and are paid some money, of which they use to buy scholastic materials and other important basics that they need.
