Seed Effect
Our vision is to the see the world's most insecure and under-served communities stabilized through economic empowerment and the hope of Jesus Christ. Together, with the support of our generous partners, we are challenging the status quo and the belief that refugees and the materially poor are in need of a hand out. People living in poverty are capable. And we believe that with the right tools, the opportunity to work, and the support of Christ-centered community, people living in material poverty can and want to provide for their family with dignity. Through Seed Effect's experience and the success of our program, we are uniquely positioned to act as a catalyst that shifts the response to refugee crises by bringing long-term solutions through Christ-centered, self-sustaining, and empowering tools executed by the refugees themselves. Refuge isn't meant to be the end goal. Restoration is. And it starts with a simple green box.
