Seed works alongside local and international partners to enrich communities through a holistic approach to financial literacy and business training.
What does it look like to grow together?
PLANT
We begin by planting seeds of hope and potential. By utilizing an Asset Based Community Development approach, we encourage the community to use their God-given abilities to work together and achieve their goals.
CULTIVATE
We invest in the growth and sustainability of those we serve, empowering them through financial literacy and business training. We partner with local organizations and churches to connect families with resources necessary to thrive.
HARVEST
We believe in the cycle of giving and receiving. As we reap the benefits of our investment, we share our gifts with others, ensuring that the generosity of those who have invested in us is passed on to benefit more lives.
Our Holistic Approach
Addressing poverty goes beyond a lack material possessions, it is rooted in broken relationships with God and others and permeates through all aspects of our lives. Our goal is to combat poverty through a holistic approach that addresses the physical, mental, and spiritual affects of poverty. Our approach is designed to instill dignity, build confidence, and empower the community to work together. The more we grow in relationship with others, the more we recognize the ways in which God has equipped his people to address the root causes of poverty and share the faith, knowledge, and resources we have been given to help each other grow.
FONDWA DISTRICT, HAITI
KNOXVILLE, TN
Where We Work
Our roots began in Haiti. For 5 years, Seed has partnered with Haitian communities in education, entrepreneurship, and development projects. We work in the Southwest region of Haiti in the mountains of the Fondwa district.
Because of violence and unrest in Haiti, many of our Haitian friends have moved from Haiti to our hometown of Knoxville, TN. Now, our programs have grown to extend to Haitians living in the US, creating opportunities for Haitians living in the US and Haiti to share knowledge, resources, and relationships furthering Seed’s mission of connecting communities globally.
