There are over 700 million children in the world who will go to bed tonight without a loving, engaged, father in the home. We believe this sin – generational fatherlessness – is THE problem of our day.
While there are legitimate reasons for fatherlessness – including war, poverty, and disease – abdication of personal responsibility by each individual man is the single biggest contributing factor to the fatherless epidemic.
Since lone mothers generally head 80% of single-parent households, regardless of geography, it begs the question…where are all the men?
Scripture and modern science both confirm that absentee fathers pose a significant threat to the spiritual, emotional, and even physical health of the abandoned child. We long to see this problem reversed. We long to see a tomorrow when every child has a father, and every father is a dad (Malachi 4:6). We envision a day with Less Orphans, More Families, and in the meantime, continue to point every fatherless child to our Abba Father (Galatians 4:6).
To spark a passion in our men to fight for the fatherless at home and abroad as Jesus commanded. Since men have caused the problem, we believe men have the responsibility to fix it (Psalm 78:1-8). This is why we’re heavily investing in today’s man and tomorrow’s father with authentic masculinity. Solving generational fatherlessness is possible if men will simply live out their calling to be servant leaders.
Since 2011, Man Up and Go has worked in various locations throughout the globe to engage the fatherless, empower single mothers, and equip men to lead. Over 20,000 locals in Uganda, Ethiopia, Kenya, and the Dominican Republic have been impacted through partnerships Man Up has cultivated with local churches and leaders in these areas. Using several Gospel-centered compassion programs and our authentic masculinity approach to equipping men, holistic and comprehensive change is occurring. Learn more below.
THANK YOU PAW MATERIALS!!
A foster family of 7’s driveway would bottom out due to large potholes which would also fill with water causing a messy situation! PAW donated crushed concrete for us to help take care of this family’s need!
Thanks again for crushing it! #manup100
Because of COVID, we had not been able to visit with the Authentic Masculinity Program (AMP) cohort in Ethiopia since its launch almost 1 year ago. This week, Jeff was finally able to break bread (well pizza or beef stew) and discuss how the program has impacted these men's lives

2020 didn’t go like we thought it would. But really – does any year ever go like we think it will? In light of God’s complete
