Supporting fathers. Strengthening families. Transforming communities.

Every father deserves the chance to be a Dad worth remembering. At BapaHebat SG, we are driven by one simple but powerful belief: fatherhood matters — regardless of where a man is in life. This belief is at the heart of the work you see in the video, where fathers in prison are learning how to rebuild relationships with their children and become better dads, even from behind bars.

Our Purpose

Behind every correctional wall is a father longing to reconnect with his family — to be present, to understand, and to love. Too often, separation from family leads to isolation, regret, and broken bonds. Our mission is to restore fatherhood, reduce cycles of intergenerational hurt, and empower men to step into their roles with confidence, integrity, and care.

Through tailored interventions, we help incarcerated fathers:

Increase awareness of their influence and role in their children’s lives.
Build practical parenting skills that foster healthy communication and connection.
Reflect on past choices and prepare emotionally for family life after release.

What We Do

Our initiatives are designed to meet fathers where they are — emotionally, socially, and physically. They include:

📌 Fathering Journey ProgrammeA structured 6-month programme for fathers serving time, focusing on communication, planning for post-release life, and rebuilding trust within the family unit.

📌 Fathering BootcampA condensed version of our core programme tailored for participants in rehabilitation centres, giving them essential tools in a shorter timeframe.

📌 Fathering Circles & Support GroupsSafe and nurturing environments where fathers — both in and out of prison — share stories, gain support, and grow together.

📌 Workshops & Skill BuildingPractical, hands-on workshops that help fathers understand their own past, develop better communication skills, and build emotional resilience.

Every session we run, every group we lead, and every relationship we help mend strengthens the fabric of families and community. What starts with one father reconnecting with his child expands into communities that are more resilient, connected, and full of hope.

Why It Matters

Fatherhood is not just biological — it is transformational. When a father learns to show up, to listen, and to love consistently, the ripple effects are profound:

Children feel secure and valued.
Families begin to heal.
Communities become safer, more connected, and more hopeful.

This work — teaching dads how to be better fathers even while they’re behind bars — isn’t just skill building. It’s restoration. It's second chances. It's hope in action.
