This site has been developed especially for fathers and sons to encourage and inspire men across the Eastern Bay of Plenty as they raise their sons to become great men.

At Fathers and Sons we recognize the hugely important role that a father plays in the shaping of his children. Statistics show that children who grow up in fatherless homes, or without a solid father figure in their lives are:

• 20 times more likely to have behavioral disorders;
• 10 times more likely to abuse chemical substances;
• and a staggering 20 times more likely to end up in prison than those children who grow up with great fathers at home.

On this site you will find ideas and tools specifically for bringing up healthy boys in the Bay of Plenty.
