"It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men."
- Frederick Douglass
So much of building strong children starts at home, and building up anyone is always a process. Thanks to the help of our donors and partners, Focus on the Family Singapore continued to be a trusted and compassionate voice to families and communities in 2012. We reached out to more than 31,000 people through our impact programs last year, with encouragement and practical tools for their marriage and family. We also counseled over 200 clients who have come to us in their deepest time of need, providing comfort to struggling parents and helping to restore broken marriages.
Focus on the Family Singapore also proactively spoke up in the news about keeping families strong. We advocated for family-friendly work-life arrangements, emphasized sex education that is undergirded by values and not just information, and championed for strong marriages as the best gift for our children.
On the national issue of low birth rates, Focus on the Family Singapore also weighed in by specifically addressing policies that encourage family formation through a paper we published, Towards a Singapore Culture that Promotes Fertility.
We also inspired fathers to take up their leadership role at home, especially through the Courageous Charity Movie Premiere and Date with Dad Campaign. For the first time, we brought the Date with Dad initiative into the prisons and conducted a special event for inmate fathers and their daughters that brought healing to many estranged relationships.
Our goal is not just to spread the message of Family, but to catalyse transformation in our culture that will endeavor to build up strong children rooted in loving homes.
We will continue reaching out with relevant and experiential programs, remain unwavering in our commitment to protect the Family, and be proactive in building partnerships with like-minded organizations and individuals. Through all, we are standing up for families, and preventing the erosion of time-honored family values that have formed the foundation of our society.
Thank you for joining us in serving families. We invite you to continue partnering with us. With your support, Focus on the Family Singapore will remain dedicated to helping families thrive.
