Seeds for Development works with very poor farming communities in northern Uganda

We listen to, and learn from, the farmers ensuring that we support them with what they need and not what we think they should have.

​

Through education, empowerment and farming, we help people rebuild their lives, and develop resilient, self-sustainable communities, after a 20 year war that raged between the rebel Lord's Resistance Army and Ugandan Government Forces.  Up to two million people spent many years living in camps for internally displaced people.  We support six communities in northern Uganda helping them move towards a happier and more hopeful life where they eat regular meals, send their children to school, build new and safer homes and set up businesses.

​

100% of donations go to Uganda to support our projects.

Education

We support 5 village nursery schools, by paying for teachers and providing a daily cup of hot porridge to every child who attends our schools.

Empowerment

Child mothers make paper beads, school uniforms and bags. Women come together to make change happen. We support pig projects, carpenters and many more.

Farming as a Business

Farmers receive seeds for an acre of land.

This means they can move away from subsistence farming and generate income for their families.

Celebration

We were delighted when our Founder Alison Hall was  appointed MBE, for services to Victims of War in Northern Uganda, in the New Year 2019 Honours List.

Partnerships and gratitude

We are so grateful for our partners, supporters and friends. Without you none of this is possible.

RESPONDING TO CORONAVIRUS

Coronavirus is in Uganda and as of June 27th there are 78,394 recorded cases and 903 deaths.   We are taking data from the Ugandan Ministry of Health, or their Twitter account, which is updated more frequently.  Cases are rising fast now as a third wave hits Africa.  You can read more in this article from The Guardian

Our beneficiaries are in very remote villages and challenged in different ways to those living in towns - see our Coronavirus page for details and how we are helping them.
