Seed works alongside church and nonprofit partners to enrich communities through a holistic approach to business & financial education.
What does it look like to grow together?
PLANT
We begin by planting seeds of hope and potential. Just as a seed needs care and nurturing to grow, we believe in caring for the whole person, working in partnership with local churches to provide a foundation for individuals and families.
CULTIVATE
We invest in the growth and sustainability of those we serve, empowering them to become entrepreneurs and create lasting change. Through business development and savings groups, we provide the tools and 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
The body of Christ needs all of its parts for it to work. Each person is an important part of the story and is uniquely gifted to fill a specific purpose God has for them. Like the body of Christ, Seed International has many parts, but they all represent a part of a person that needs to be tended. Just as you can’t produce a healthy plant without the right amount of sun, water, and nutrients, you cannot help a person without addressing every part of them spiritually, mentally, physically, and relationally.
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.
