About this program

As Fathers Incorporated embarks on its mission to deepen fatherhood engagement in Ghana and Kenya, it reaffirms its commitment to fostering supportive environments for children's literacy and learning, regardless of geographical location.

The international mission of Fathers Incorporated to Ghana and Kenya emphasizes the organization's commitment to transforming children's lives through literacy.

By promoting active fatherhood engagement, Fathers Incorporated is not only aiding children's educational success in the present but also building a firm foundation for their future.

The organization's global journey marks an important milestone in fostering inclusive educational practices that recognize and value the vital role of fathers, a journey that promises to yield rich learnings for all stakeholders involved.

Fathers Incorporated partners with award-winning authors Kwame Alexander and Tracy Chiles McGhee to co-found the Literacy Empowerment Action Project (LEAP). The organization's focus initially centers on the eastern region of Ghana, particularly in the village of Konko.

The organization implements a multi-phase literacy, school improvement, and youth empowerment agenda. Efforts include the creation of a library for the Konko village school, funding for infrastructure improvements, and hosting a series of literacy and teacher development programs.

By extending this initiative to Ghana and Kenya, Fathers Incorporated seeks to bridge the gap between cultural differences and create a universal platform for fathers to contribute significantly to their children's educational success.
