The current research indicates that homes with positively involved fathers have a wide-ranging positive effect, from mental and emotion health to social engagement, productivity and even physical health. And because fatherlessness doesn't discriminate, neither do we. We are a global movement with an established record of positive transformation in countries around the world, and are open to partnerships with any faith-based, secular, corporate, non-profit, governmental, [insert your sector here] organisation that shares our passion for eradicating fatherlessness. 

TWNAF is a decentralised movement, which means that every country and individual shares ownership and leadership for the movement. We have international mentorship and accountability structures, but no global leadership hierarchy or central headquarters — each country develops their own coordination team and is responsible for building the movement in their country.

We envision stable families that experience heaven at home, with involved, engaged, loving fathers and mothers, who lead by example and create an atmosphere of warmth,  acceptance and secure affirmation.

We envision robust communities built on healthy families, where societal issues are handled with courage, grace and wisdom, and radical positive change takes place.

We envision a world where whole communities practice share, inspire and invigorate each other towards restoration, and wisdom is shared across cultures, creeds and generations.

We empower fathers and mothers around the world to bring heaven home through trainings, mentoring, and a global network of trainers and people like you who are passionate about eradicating the scourge of fatherlessness, starting at home.
