See how three fathers from across the globe care for their children — and how much it means to them to know they aren’t alone.
Being a parent is a wonderfully enriching experience. It is also among the most difficult and important roles one can have. For fathers raising children in disadvantaged households, the support and assistance provided through our programs ease their daily burdens while giving their kids the opportunities they need to break free from generational poverty.
What I like about Children International is that they have helped my children in training classes, in computer modules, and in different areas that they implement. They give my daughter school reinforcement, and it is a great support, what they do for my children.”

Father of Nicole, ECUADOR
