About Us
We are community-based, faith-driven, and powered by volunteers and donors who share our vision.
THE SEED FUND'S STORY
What began in 2017 as a simple after-school homework club has grown into a vibrant hub of learning, care, and empowerment. We’ve added early childhood education, English literacy programs, mentorship, career guidance, food security projects, and a women’s sewing initiative — each designed to unlock the potential within the community we serve.
OUR MISSION
We empower children through education, dignity, and community—supporting them from early learning to school success, while inspiring hope and meaningful connection.
OUR VALUES
Dignity: Every person has worth.
Hope: We believe in a future beyond poverty.
Presence: Relationships are at the heart of what we do.
Faith: We’re rooted in love, purpose, and service.
Meet our Dedicated Team
Our team at The Seed Fund is committed to empowering women and children through education and support. Behind every child fed, every lesson taught, and every hand held, is a team of remarkable local heroes. Each member brings a unique set of skills and a shared passion for making a difference. Our dedicated teachers, carers, and kitchen cooks serve with love, skill, and unwavering commitment — bringing stability, joy, and nourishment to our children every day.
They are the heartbeat of The Seed Fund.
