Where are the fathers?

The nuclear family is largely a myth and worryingly large numbers of children are being raised without their biological fathers.

While many children, raised by single mothers, grow up and thrive for many others, the absence of positive and active presence of men in their lives puts them at risk.

It deprives these fatherless children of the physical and emotional security that an involved father brings to the family dynamic. 

Research from around the world, including South Africa, has demonstrated the importance of engaged and supportive fathers.
