Recognizing Three Amazing Dads in Africa
What do a teacher, mentor, therapist, coach, advisor, financier, bodyguard, and supporter all have in common? They are all roles a father plays in the lives of his children as they mature into young women and men. A father never stops sharing the wisdom he has learned and is often the first person we seek out when making major life decisions.
For this and many other reasons, the importance of a father cannot be overstated. It’s been well-documented that children suffer major disadvantages in life when there’s no father in the home. Whether it’s an increased likelihood of poverty, substance abuse, crime or dropping out of school, it’s not an understatement to say that having a dad, or a positive male role model, in the home can save a child’s life.
That’s why this Father’s Day, Asante Africa Foundation is celebrating the positive impact dads have on their children’s lives; empowering their kids to grow into healthy, happy women and men through sacrifice and hard work.

A Student Assistance Program is a school-based, three-tiered system for building supports for all students, not just those dealing with behavior issues or skill
There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning failure.
The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.
