Objectives
The main objective of our Girl Dad Global is to strengthen the relationship between fathers and daughters, thereby decreasing teen pregnancy, social dysfunction in girls, early substance abuse, as well as the instances of domestic violence. This connection also inspires fathers and father figures to take a more active role in the development of girls and women. Ultimately, our goal is to strengthen families.
This initiative is one too close to our hearts. We are aware that girls without positive father figures are more likely to become sexually active at a younger age and have a child outside of marriage. Research shows, 76% of teenage girls said that their fathers (or positive male role models) were influential with sexual decisions. Fatherless children are at a dramatically greater risk of drug and alcohol abuse and are twice as likely to drop out of school. Fathers and positive male influences are the leading factor in developing positive social behavior in children.
We invite Fathers, Uncles, Grandfathers, Stepfathers, Male-Mentors, Male-Coaches, Male-Caregivers, and all other men that have a daughter that you love and care for, to our annual Daddy Daughter Dance. This evening is designed to transform each girl/woman into the Princess she was meant to be, as she spends a magical evening with her “first” Love! It is a night that will change both dad and daughter-for a lifetime! It is one of several activities we shall uphold to nurture Daddy Daughter bond.
