Tato.Net on Family First Global 2024 Leaders’ Summit

Tato.Net begins a partnership with Family First Global. The international association Family First Global (FFG), during its annual FFG Leadership Summit in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, officially recognized Tato.Net as its sole partner in Poland. FFG will not establish its own structures in Poland but will carry out its mission in collaboration with Tato.Net. This partnership will be implemented in selected projects, including the organisation of The International Tato.Net Fathers Forum.

Manila, Philippines – From April 28 to May 1, 2024, Family First Global (FFG), in partnership with Pamilya Muna Pilipinas and the Fellowship of Fathers Foundation, hosted its largest annual FFG Leader’s Summit to date. Nearly 200 attendees from 10 countries, from Papua New Guinea to Poland, gathered for the event.

Representatives from 10 countries participated in this year's summit: Myanmar, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Poland, Singapore, and the United States. Poland was represented by Dr. Dariusz Cupiał, the founder of Tato.Net. The value of the Tato.Net brand was recognized and appreciated, as Tato.Net became the representative of the international association Family First Global in Poland. One area of cooperation will be the 16th International Tato.Net Forum, scheduled for October 26, 2024.

Family First Global is a nonprofit partnership focused on supporting family formation, consisting of local leadership teams from various foundations, associations, and Christian communities worldwide. FFG creates a network of collaboration through partnerships to share programs and approaches that are effective in working with families. The FFG Council consists of chairpersons and co-chairpersons from each country and region of Family First. Local teams collaborate to support the strengthening of marriage and family, thereby building their communities and nations. Each year, FFG organizes the FFG Leadership Annual Summit, a meeting inviting leaders from all member organizations.

This year's summit focused on the theme of building strong families in the face of new global challenges, such as wars, intolerance, increasing violence, and the brutal persecution of Christians, as well as divisive perspectives on family values. The summit's motto, "Together We Are Stronger and Stronger in Jesus" emphasized that spirituality, Christian unity, and faith are essential for the strength of the modern family.

Professor Gregory Slayton, author of best-selling publications, philanthropist, former American diplomat, and founder and president of Family First Global, highlighted the significance and power of collective effort during the recent FFG summit: "Our organization is like strands of a strong rope. Single strands can’t do much, but together, we can help lots of people by building stronger, happier, and more successful families centred on the Almighty.”

Echoing this sentiment, Glenn Yu, President of Family First Asia, emphasized, “Family is the most basic unit of society, but a strong family can change the world.”
