FAN is a Non-Profit Company operating since 2010 that addresses gender-based violence, crime and fatherlessness by restoring and equipping men to be nation-builders, good fathers and role models. We teach men to use their strength to love, serve, honour, protect and and stand against any form of abuse. Our mission is to raise the next generation of men to build a safe and prosperous South Africa.
Close to 60% of South African children are growing up without a present and engaged father. Research shows that fatherlessness is the single biggest driver of violent crime globally. By failing to father our children South Africa has been growing an army of dangerous men. We have the highest rate of rape and gender-based violence (GBV) in the world. Our murder rate is almost 8 times higher than the USA and 37 times higher than the UK!
Men who have had an absent or abusive father grow up wounded. And if they’ve had no male mentors or role models to teach them good, positive masculinity they often have a distorted concept of what it means to be a man. Wounded men with false notions of what it means to be a man are the primary cause of masculine abuse in all its forms. This is not something that will self-correct. Wounded men raise wounded boys who become wounded men who wound. We need to break the cycle. Unless we deal decisively with this our future is in very real danger.
Father A Nation (FAN) has been working with men and boys since 2010. We have impacted over 100,000 men and their families across the nation and the goal is to reach 1 million men. With your support we CAN turn the tide against gender-based violence, crime, corruption, fatherlessness and social disintegration and build a nation that is safe, secure and prosperous for all.
