Our Programs
We believe each person is an important part of their community and is uniquely gifted to fill a specific purpose God has for them. Just as a plant cannot grow without the right amount of sun, water, and nutrients, a person cannot develop without addressing each part necessary for growth: spiritual, mental, physical, and relational. Our programs are designed to provide a holistic approach to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those we serve.

Investing in financial education & small businesses
Once a family is connected to basic needs, they are ready to begin investing in themselves and planning for the future. Our financial literacy & business training equips learners with the knowledge and skills they need to begin budgeting and saving. We then empower individuals to build businesses, fostering economic independence and self-sustainability within their community.
Working alongside local church and nonprofit partners
By collaborating with local communities and their leaders, we create a strong support network that understands the unique needs and strengths of the people we serve. We partner with organizations who have long standing relationships in the community they serve and are committed to sustainability and long-term impact.
Nurturing deeply rooted relationships
We believe that lasting change is best achieved through the strength of relationships. We facilitate small groups and gatherings to help people connect to their community. We are also committed to connecting the body of Christ to one another through facilitating cross-cultural relationships and creating environments for people to connect. We are committed to growing in knowledge of best practices in addressing complex needs in our communities and addressing these needs through respect, mutuality, and humility.

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.
