ABOUT EVENT
Overview
The Daddy’s Girl Project is a movement-a transformative initiative dedicated to empowering the girl child by nurturing and strengthening the bond between fathers and daughters.
A father's presence, affirmation, and active involvement are critical to a girl’s emotional development, self-esteem, and long-term success. Our work centers on restoring, strengthening,
and celebrating this vital bond—one that often shapes a girl’s view of herself, her relationships, and her place in the world.
In many communities, the impact of absent or emotionally distant fathers is evident in the challenges faced by girls and young women.
The Daddy’s Girl Project exists to rewrite that narrative by equipping fathers to be intentional, present, and emotionally available—while also creating spaces for daughters to share, heal, grow, and thrive through meaningful connection.
Rooted in the belief that a healthy father-daughter relationship plays a vital role in a girl's self-esteem, emotional development, and future success, this initiative hopes to birth a new generation of empowered girls raised by present,
loving, and engaged fathers—thus creating a ripple effect of stronger families and healthier communities.
Mission
To empower the girl child by fostering strong, positive, and supportive relationships between
fathers and daughters, promoting emotional wellness, confidence, and holistic growth.

involved father or father figure—laying the foundation for empowered women and healthier societies.

Together, we can build a future where every girl grows up knowing she is
seen, heard, loved, and supported by the first man in her life—her father.
The Daddy’s Girl Project — because every girl deserves a father who shows up.
