It's not only about dads. Stronger families and communities mean brighter futures for our children.

The Fathering Project positively impacts fathering behaviour and fathers’ engagement with children through evidence-rich programs and resources that engage, equip and support fathers, families, schools, employers and community organisations.

Safe With You

The Fathering Project honours every father and positive male role model who dedicates himself to raising his children with love and care.

Your commitment, dedication, support and protection make all the difference in helping children thrive and reach their full potential.

How you can help

Your donation is being used to transform the lives of children, fathers and families.

We believe the true impact of having confident and engaged Dads will be felt not just at home but across communities and society as a whole. Supporting fathers and father figures to be the best they can be means children with happier, healthier futures. With the generous support of our donors and sponsors, The Fathering Project will help to improve the lives of children today and for generations to come.

It means we can provide every father, or father-figure, the tools to engage with their children and to help them thrive.
