In many families, it’s often the mothers who take on the care of children with disabilities. In recent weeks, we witnessed something special at the center: it was a father who came to the center with his 4-year-old son.
Baba Geofrey proves that fathers also feel great care and concern for the well-being of their children. He stayed for seven full weeks with his child at the center, where he learned, cared, and supported, while his wife took care of the household and responsibilities at home.
Baba Geofrey’s dedication broke barriers and sent a strong message to the community in which he lives: fatherhood is more than providing resources. It’s about being present and supportive and showing involvement. His story is an inspiration for many parents in Tanzania. His involvement shows that anything is possible with love and dedication.
