Women from Alexandra share what changed after FAN’s Champions for Change programme began working with men in their community: more communication and support, less conflict, and a greater sense of safety and freedom at home. 

Father A Nation’s proven Champions for Change programme equips men across South Africa with tools for positive masculinity, fatherhood and preventing gender-based violence.

These are the 2025 testimonies and stories of men whose lives have been changed and whose families and communities are safer as a result. Making Communities safe for women and children one man at a time.

And it is also compelling evidence that the programme is making a significant difference. Here are some of the stories our team has had the privilege of being a part of.
