TFGF’s mission reunites fatherless children with their biological fathers all while providing the resources and services that strengthen, support, and elevate a commitment to fatherhood and family values.
The negative statistics around fatherlessness is our why?
It is our mission to be the solution to the negative statistics surrounding fatherlessness.
Our efforts go beyond talking about the statistics of fatherlessness to being a solution to a generational problem through our programs and services crafted to reunite fatherless children and their fathers and supporting fathers through their journey to building positive relationships with their children. TFGF uses an out of the box holistic method of providing legal, psychological, and emotional support to absent fathers who desire to become active.
FATHERLESSNESS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SOCIAL PANDEMICS IN OUR WORLD!
1 out of 3 children grows up without their biological father in their home.
This creates emotional, psychological, and financial issues resulting in negative outcomes such as:
71% of fatherless children drop out of high school
85% of children who come from fatherless households exhibit behavioral disorders making them 20 times more likely to have a behavioral disorder
Fatherless Children are 5 times more likely to commit suicide
32 times more likely to run away
10 times more likely to abuse a chemical substance
20 times more likely to end up in prison
These are just some of the statistics as to why The Fatherless Generation Foundation Inc. (TFGF) was created. TFGF reunites fatherless children with their biological fathers all while providing the resources and services that strengthen, support and elevate a commitment to fatherhood and family values.
