Making Community.
Establishing Fatherhood Programs means that 4.2M children get to spend time with a father.
Doing so requires strategic investment, a long-term commitment, sharing knowledge, and
capacity building an effective organization. These are the hallmarks of our approach, which
involves a path to connect Vocational and Financial Education, which leads to Job Placement,
and rewards both the families and communities while encouraging the sustainability of Human
