The SEED Foundation
Support For Education & Economic Development
The SEED Foundation aims to improve long-term food security, agriculture, and livelihoods in rural Zambia through education of the unemployed youths, rural women, refugees living in Zambia, retirees, PLWDs and prisoners. The meaning of SEED is “Sow a small seed (start a project) for Poverty Alleviation and Economic Development through Education”
The Foundation promotes sustainable growth and diversification of family agriculture in Zambia. It works to help improve the food production through small community seeds (projects), gained after a three (3) day incubation training activity, encourages good storage through grain dams or warehousing, agro processing, and marketing of local rural agricultural products.
