| Description Program Srvc Accom | DURING 2015, AFRICA TRANSFORMATION NETWORK, INC. PROVIDED GRANTS FOR MULTIPLE PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT AFRICAN COMMUNITIES INCLUDING: MORE THAN THIRTY-FIVE FORMER STREET BOYS HAVE BEEN REINTEGRATED BACK INTO THEIR FAMILIES. THIRTY SINGLE STREET GIRLS AND VULNERABLE LADIES HAVE BEEN HELPED OUT OF PROSTITUTION, EMPOWERED AND DISCIPLED. MOST OF THEM HAVE MADE THE DECISION TO FOLLOW JESUS AND TODAY THERE ARE MULTIPLE HOUSE CHURCHES THAT HAVE FORMED FROM THESE WOMEN. AS WELL AS, THERE ARE TWO CO-OPS THAT HAVE FORMED FROM THESE ONCE VULNERABLE WOMEN. SIXTY-THREE FAMILIES WHO USED TO PRACTICE SURVIVAL FARMING HAVE BEEN TRAINED TO FARM IN A BETTER AND MORE PRODUCTIVE WAY, CALLED FARMING GOD'S WAY. FOR MOST OF THESE FARMERS, THE TRAINING OPENED THEIR EYES TO REALIZE THE RELATIONSHIP THAT EXISTS BETWEEN CREATION AND THE CREATOR AND HOW THEY CAN PARTNER WITH THE CREATOR FOR THE CARE OF HIS CREATION. THEY HAVE LEARNED THAT AGRICULTURE CAN BE SPIRITUAL WORK. FORTY YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN HAVE BEEN TRAINED IN WELDING AND CONSTRUCTION. FOR MOST OF THEM, THIS TRAINING IS THE ONLY SKILL THEY HAVE ACQUIRED IN THEIR ENTIRE LIFE. NO DOUBT, THESE GRADUATES WILL HELP THEIR FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES TO BREAK THE CIRCLE OF POVERTY AND HOPELESSNESS. FOUR WELLS HAVE BEEN DRILLED. THESE WELLS HAVE BLESSED MORE THAN 400 FAMILIES WHO DID NOT HAVE ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER FOR SEVERAL YEARS. THIS HAS POSITIVELY AFFECTED MANY CHILDREN WHO WERE DROPPING OUT OF SCHOOL DUE TO THE LONG DISTANCE TO GET UNCLEAN WATER. THEY ARE NOW FREE FROM PREVENTABLE DISEASES CAUSED BY UNCLEAN WATER. | DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt |
