Our Story
A Message From Our Founder
There are moments in life when a scripture settles so deeply into your spirit that you know it is more than a passing thought—it is a call. For me, that scripture was Acts 2:44–45 and Acts 4:32–34. The words “all things in common” would not let me go. They followed me into prayer, into meditation, into quiet moments and busy ones. I found myself imagining a world where we truly lived this way—where no one lacked the most basic necessities, and where compassion was not an exception but a way of life.
During my years working with international partners at the School of Nursing, that vision became more than an idea. It became a burden on my heart. I witnessed the struggles of children in impoverished regions who longed for an education but lacked the simplest resources to access it. Education, one of the most fundamental needs across the globe—was out of reach for so many.
One story, in particular, pierced my heart. A family with two daughters, just a year apart in age, could only afford one school uniform. Because of that, the girls had to alternate days attending school. One uniform determined which child could learn on any given day. That reality stayed with me. It settled in my spirit and refused to fade.
For a time, the idea of doing something rested quietly. But God has a way of bringing His purpose back to the surface. The scripture kept reappearing—through sermons, through prayer, through moments when I wasn’t even thinking about it. Pastors began preaching from the very passages that had been stirring in me. I knew then that God was speaking clearly: it was time to move.
And so, the ATIC Foundation—All Things in Common—was born.
This foundation is not just an organization. It is a response to a spiritual call. It is an expression of faith, compassion, and the belief that when we share freely, no child should ever be left behind. Our mission is simple yet urgent: to ensure that children in underserved regions have access to education and the basic resources that make learning possible.
Whether through school uniforms, essential supplies, or nutritional support, ATIC exists to remove barriers that keep children from the classroom. We believe education is a pathway to dignity, opportunity, and hope—and every child deserves that chance.
Thank you for joining us on this journey. Thank you for believing, as I do, that when we live with open hands and open hearts, we can help create a world where all things are truly held in common.
With gratitude and purpose,
Reverend Belinda “B” Wisdom
Founder & Executive Director, ATIC Foundation
