In the heart of a close-knit community, Monte Christo Miqlat’s “Legacy Dad Programme” offers a crucial five-evening journey for fathers to explore and strengthen their relationships within the family unit and with themselves. Through facilitated sessions, dads are encouraged to share their experiences, fostering empathy and a sense of community. This open dialogue creates a healing environment that positively impacts their connections with their children and spouses.
A significant outcome of the programme is the reconciliation and strengthening of marital bonds. As fathers gain deeper self-awareness and improve their communication skills, relationships with their partners often experience renewed connection and stability. Beyond spousal relationships, the programme fosters personal growth, with dads reporting spiritual and psychological development. This empowerment motivates them to work towards a better future for their children.
Participants are reminded of the vital role they play in their children’s lives—not just as providers, but as everyday role models, encouragers and nurturers. This includes a conscious decision to break cycles of poverty and instil strong, positive values. The programme’s impact resonates through individual growth and the strengthening of the family unit as a whole.
In essence, Monte Christo Miqlat’s core objective is to cultivate sustainable families and the impactful Legacy Dad Programme stands as a testament to their commitment. By empowering fathers, this initiative strengthens the very bedrock of the family unit, fostering healing and growth that extends to spouses and children alike. As a beneficiary of the Val de Vie Foundation, MCM is able to make this vital work a tangible reality, building stronger, more resilient families within the community of Paarl East.
