“I thought that this initiative was very innovative! Utilizing the building of social skills -that these fathers do not have or have undervalued in the past - to act as an agent for financial responsibility is great! I was moved by the whole thing.”

“This initiative deals with a difficult challenge head on and with a very organized approach. Becoming financially independent, developing self-efficiency, and being able to connect with the family has shown to be an enormous challenge in society. This is the only initiative that led to this particular area and tackles a complex social challenge.”

“The approach was well thought out, and I liked that it addressed the causes rather than the symptoms by looking to build skills. This initiative recognizes that it is difficult to improve an individual’s life if the participants cannot sustain themselves. It’s very innovative and the platform functions from a ‘cause’ perspective. The critical understanding of how to implement change is well mapped out and it would be great if we could see some data to see the social impact of this initiative.”
