Our History
DAI has had a base in the UK since 2006 for supporting global curriculum development and training and for fundraising. In 2020 DAI’s focus in the UK was expanded to provide leadership training and coaching within the UK itself. The desire is to provide opportunities for leaders of different ethnicities and cultures to come together to:
– explore the skills and behaviours of a true servant leader
– provide safe spaces to study, debate, imagine and reflect together
– learn from one another
Partnerships
We work in short and long-term partnerships with churches and organisations that are reaching out to develop leaders.
If you’re interested in working in partnership with DAI UK, please get in touch.
