The SEED FUND: Fostering Economic Empowerment
Empowering women to take charge and support their families through flourishing crop fields and enhanced nutrition is the essence of #AccelerateAction.
The Seed Fund has been introduced in the Bulambuli and Manafwa districts via community women’s groups. Ten groups, each consisting of ten women, amplify this power.
Each group receives approximately $100 Cdn along with two goats. This fund allows women to access healthcare services by borrowing money, which they can repay with a small interest fee. The initial 20 goats provided to these ten groups have multiplied, now totaling 60 goats, which supply families with milk and manure for their crops.
“It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches” Matt 13:32
Some women borrow as low as $3 for transport to the health centre to access maternal health care. Some women need to borrow as much as $40 to support them during emergency care.
We have planted two seeds (groups) and have seen remarkable branches extend from them. Your support will ensure we extend more branches to the women of East Africa when they need support during delivery.
