About Us

Why do fathers matter in the lives of their children?

Studies have shown that children who grow up without fathers in their lives have a much higher incidence of social, psychological, and academic problems and are more likely to experience poverty.

If children have the support and interest of both parents they are more likely to have a better future and to be healthy and happier individuals.

Why are so many children growing up without their fathers?

Divorce and non-marital childbearing have become commonplace and these trends have dramatically altered children's lives. Nationally,more than 1/4 of all children will spend part of their childhood in a home without a father.

 "Each child has a hole in his/her soul in the shape of his/her dad." Moreover, research confirms that, on average, without involved fathers, kids are more at risk to be poor, become teen parents, fail in school and come in contact with the criminal justice system.
