  1. Time Fathers Spend with their Children Matters

  2. Fathers are heroes: The story of Fahiem and Fawad Engaged, responsive fatherhood and men’s participation in the lives of children are positive for children, women and men themselves.“My father was my hero. He spent as much time with us as he could. He had a pickup truck that he sold vegetables out of and was very busy with the mosque. He would pick up the family and we’d go to the pool or the beach. There was never a moment he wasn’t there for me” recalls 37-year-old Fahiem Abrahams about his own childhood.

  3. “Parenting nowadays is a joint-venture between husband and wife,” Fahiem says. “Communication is the key. When I do the dishes, it’s one less thing for her to do." He continues: "It used to be that the father was the bread-winner and the mother was the care-giver. Now it’s a dual role.” He adds that “just being there for your kids” is the most important part of being a dad. "Even if we are just out for the evening, I start to miss them. It just comes naturally.” Read more about this story on UNICEF South Africa .
