In the United States, 23.9 million children live absent from their biological fathers!

Fatherless children represent:

• 63% of teen suicide
• 70% of juveniles in state-operated institutions
• 71% of high school dropouts
• 75% of children in chemical abuse centers
• 80% of rapists
• 85% of youths in prison
• 85% of children with exhibit behavioral disorders
• 90% of homeless and runaway children

Statistics show that children who are raised in families without a strong father role model experience significant emotional, physical, social and financial problems later in life.

Since 1993 the Family Foundation Fund has served the Metro Nashville and Middle Tennessee areas by providing a mentoring program to fatherless and disadvantaged boys, ages ten years old and older. Through this unique and effective ministry, these boys are nurtured by local Christian men who volunteer their time as surrogate dads to provide leadership, discipline and unconditional love.

God is using Family Foundation Fund to make a difference. Since 1993:

• 46 boys have been mentored
• 15 have completed program
• 100% have made commitment to Christ
• 100% are continuing their education after high school or working full time
• 12 are presently being mentored
• None using drugs
• None have been teenage fathers
