Sustainable East African Education & Development Society (SEEDS) hasn't added a story.
We at SEEDS are passionate about education and making sure that orphaned and vulnerable children in Ethiopia have access. With no social safety net that we enjoy in the West, education and sustained support is the hope for these children.
SEEDS is a not for profit organization dedicated to supporting impoverished children and families in East Africa, through improving access to education, and strengthening families and communities through economic, community, and capacity development activities. SEEDS is a totally volunteer run (the only paid staff are on the ground in Ethiopia) charity from Canada that presently helps 260 children access primary school in Ethiopia. We work with 4 schools, Berheu Tesfa School in the capital Addis Ababa, which is located close to the city's garbage dump and 3 schools north in the town of Amanuel, Gojjam. Although public education is free, students must afford the cost of school uniforms and school supplies themselves. This, amongst many other poverty related issues, such as no stable income, food and housing insecurity, family breakdown or death of parent(s), poor sanitation and illness are significant barriers for children, in accessing education. Our funding covers school related costs and services to mitigate the impact of poverty, such as medical costs, emergency food, etc. Your donations also help to support capital expenditures to improve school infrastructure, such as funding school libraries, equipment to start early learning programs, and bringing running water and washrooms to the schools.
SEEDS works with local authorities to identify the most at-risk children to support. We take a comprehensive and wholistic approach in our efforts, realizing we need to be rooted in community for the long haul. Yet, because we are volunteer run, we struggle to resource and sustain our important work. We've seen the long term impact education has in breaking the cycle of poverty, so we persevere.
Your help means you become part of our community, a collective effort to make the lives of children, families and community's more vibrant and hopeful. A few volunteers can not sustain a community, but one community can help another, in very real and meaningful and measurable ways. Keep in mind that for every dollar we raise, up to $25,000 is matched by our local provincial government international development program, meaning your donation automatically has double the impact. Please join us this year in our efforts to fund this years programs, for 260 orphaned and vulnerable children in Ethiopia.
