MenCare is a global fatherhood campaign that’s mission is to promote men’s involvement as equitable, non-violent fathers and caregivers in order to achieve family well-being and gender equality. This project allows you to create your own materials to make culturally sustainable campaigns in your area. They promote fatherhood in two ways, by beginning fatherhood groups to teach fathers-to-be how to be good fathers to their children and through couples education to promote men’s involvement in maternal and child health.
