Many relationships don’t have a particular nor obvious characteristic or standard. Fatherhood has but the quality and status of a marital relationship may not obviously translate into a kind of fatherhood quality. Here’s a place where human relationships can become useful for the betterment of all childhoods as we strive to enhance our fatherhoods. All fathers deserve the freedom to build a meanin
gful, connected and custodian life of their children. Fatherhood Uganda ignites the impulse to act, helping fathers realize that if they get involved they can make better things happen on their own terms. Fatherhood Uganda will remind us that so much that will improve our lives and other people’s lives will depend on parental relationships and not writing parenthood off. Marital relationships, however well-intentioned will always struggle to respond to the complex reality of the child/children and to the fine grain of parenthood without the initiative awakened to provide first-hand experience of the current ideal functioning of fathers.
