A Father Leading by Example<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Kivunge, Zanzibar, Pandu Hamisi, a proud father of three, believes
that protecting his children\u2019s health begins with a simple but powerful act
vaccination. \u201cI always make sure my children receive all their vaccines
on time,\u201d he says proudly. \u201cI bring them to the clinic myself and watch
them get immunized, knowing it\u2019s the best way to keep them healthy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


For Pandu, being a father means more than providing; it means being
present and responsible for his children\u2019s well-being. He uses his voice to
encourage other fathers in the community to take the same active role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cI advise other men to ensure their children get all the recommended
vaccines,\u201d he explains. \u201cIt\u2019s our duty as fathers to protect them from
diseases and give them a chance at a strong, healthy life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Through the SLL Project, supported by the Mastercard Foundation,
awareness about shared parenting and the importance of immunization
has grown inspiring more fathers like Pandu to take part in their children\u2019s
health journey. Because when parents work together, communities grow
stronger, and every child gets the protection they deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
