The Future of the African Daughter Project (FOTAD) is a girl-child development project for girls aged 12 to 19 years who come from previously disadvantaged areas. The project aims to change the life of the ordinary girl from the township, the African daughter, by providing practical and meaningful guidance and skills to girls participating in the project. The girls are encouraged to break away from negative lifestyles and mindsets, and instead are encouraged to dream of a positive future for themselves. The project provides a constructive and safe environment where each girl is taught to dream, plan and achieve. The three areas of focus are 1) Maths and Science development, 2) Debating and Public speaking and 3) Lifeskills development.
