Every Man is a Father

Bassem Abdel Malek

Bassem is the founder of the World Needs a Father movement in Egypt. He is a Consultant Engineer with a consulting office in New York, USA, and in Egypt. Bassem resides in Egypt and works in designing hotels, universities, hospitals, and fine dining restaurants.

Bassem believes that his prime goal in life is to be a true father for his children and a good, loving husband to his wife. He is full of passion toward fatherless children. Married in the year 2000, he found his real passion when he had his first child, Natalie (currently 21 years old), and then his second child, Seif (currently 19 years old), as he felt the urge to learn more about fatherhood and what he should be doing.

He began to study children's psychology and obtained many certificates in coaching, and started helping in the Fatherhood movement in 2012 when Cassie Carstens (the founder) came to Cairo to present the full curriculum of fatherhood and about TWNAF (The World Needs a Father).

Following the success of the movement in Egypt, the team came up with the idea of inviting fathers and their children to spend two nights at a father & child camp. During these camps, fathers and their kids enjoy playing and spending quality time together, and also listen to fatherhood sessions. These camps focus on all the fathers' roles according to TWNAF training, educating them on the positive effect of fatherhood on children. Another important aspect of these camps is giving fathers the chance to apply what they've learned right away with their sons and daughters. Bassem and the TWNAF team have already trained more than 50,000 parents so far.
