As dads enjoy their special day with an extra cuddle from their kids, these famous fathers are all too aware their children are growing up with privileges that not everyone enjoys. With thousands of children in the Horn of Africa starving due to a devastating drought, these dads are donating their favourite ties to ChildFund so people can purchase them for their own fathers and help a child get another chance at life.

“Having reported from drought-stricken areas, I know the images from Africa are only the tip of the iceberg. Since my children were young, I’ve tried to instil in them a sense of compassion. They say I’ve got too many ties, so they’ll be happy this one’s going to a good cause.”

Ben oitchell Shortland Street’s DR TK Samuels, Father to Mila (2) and Sophia (10 months).

“To me, being a dad is the most important thing. As a parent, your main responsibility is to protect, provide for and defend your family. However, in some countries, due to factors beyond their control, parents aren’t able to do this. I want to help so they have the means to raise their children the way they want to.”

“Becoming a father is the best gift a man can get. Being a dad means making sure Jack feels safe, loved, cared for and inspired. I am doing this because it’s heartbreaking to see children go without.”
