A new way of thinking. Building self-reliance. Transforming nations.
The Africa Transformation Initiative is a holistic approach to bringing change based on training and sustainable models of integrated development.
The African continent has gone through decades of misery. In fact, the word “Africa” conjures up images of political turmoil, ethnic cleansing, economic failures, disease, environmental degradation, famines, mismanagement, corruption, poor governance, and a myriad of other ills. Yet, Africa has some of the world’s most prized resources that, when tapped and well managed, would quickly turn the continent around.
It is easy to blame this dilemma on problems such as colonialism, tribalism, nepotism or corruption. But as much as these might be complicating factors, it will not be easy to overcome any of these or to bring lasting change until God brings to the African people a change of heart and a change of mind. Africa needs a paradigm shift – a people who will not see themselves as helpless victims but rather as potential change agents that can bring about positive results in their own lives as well as society.
The ATI approach to bringing healing to Africa is unique because it is a holistic approach that includes mindset change (behavior, habits, character and actions), spiritual (prayer and personal ministry), intellectual (training) and practical (community-level projects) components all integrated toward an overall goal.
Every ATI project, be it planting trees, digging wells, training, prayer, micro-finance or emergency relief, is carried out in such a way as to help the peoples of Africa rise from a position of poverty and mentality of helplessness to a position of self-sustenance and attitude of hope.
ATI is led by an international Task Force of leaders from DOVE Christian Fellowship International, DOVE Africa, and other interested individuals.
